Bria Solo vs Siperb Mobile Softphone

Bria Solo is a softphone for individual users who want voice and video calling through a service provider, call server or IP PBX they choose. It does not include voice or messaging service, so it must be paired with one of those systems. Calling accounts are configured in a web portal that stores settings for use across devices. Example integrations include Asterisk, FreePBX, sipgate and onsip; contacts can come from Google, Microsoft Outlook, iOS and Android. The paid plan includes HD voice and video, call transfer and forwarding, auto answer, recording and call history. Bria Solo Free costs nothing and supports one device and one SIP/VoIP account, with weekly call limits and personal, non-commercial use. Bria Solo costs $2.95 a year, billed $35.40 per year on an annual plan, with taxes not included. A 21-day trial is advertised without a credit card; the pricing note lists a 14-day trial. Apps are available for Windows, macOS, iOS and Android.

Siperb Mobile Softphone puts an office phone extension on an iOS or Android device and connects it to an existing PBX or SIP system. It supports audio and video calls, attended and blind transfers, three-way conferencing, DTMF, call history, CDR, and buddy presence. Its listed end-to-end encryption uses TLS and DTLS-SRTP. When the app is backgrounded, locked, or restarted, Siperb’s proxy uses Apple APNs or Google FCM to wake it and deliver calls. Mobile devices must use Proxy Registration Mode, which is also required for push notifications. The same account works across web, Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android, sharing contacts, settings, and call history. Supported PBXs include Asterisk, FreePBX, FreeSWITCH, and SIP systems that can provision an extension. Personal is free; Business costs £2.00 per month per domain user, and Business Pro costs £5.00 per month per domain user.
