DIFFERENCE

The Cost To Use –

Viber is free to use when it comes to Viber to Viber VoIP calls and messaging.
WhatsApp is free for the first year. Once the first year is over, the cost of using WhatsApp is $1 per
year.
You can call people who don’t have Viber using the app but it will cost you about 1.9 cents a minute.
This cost applies to both landline or mobile phones. Still, for Viber to Viber calling, the calls are
always free of charge.
The Winner – Viber.

User Interface –
WhatsApp has a very simple to use interface and so does Viber. Since Viber does offer a richer
interface, it makes it a bit more cluttered. WhatsApp was actually even simpler to use a few months
ago. It was then that Facebook — which owns WhatsApp – decided to change the ‘Status’ interface
of the app. That change, has made WhatsApp a bit less user friendly in the view of some.
One problem Viber has is the annoying Stickers they are always trying to get users to purchase.
That gives the edge to WhatsApp.
The Winner – WhatsApp

VoIP Features –
WhatsApp and Viber both allow users to call anyone who has the app installed. The calls to anyone
via app to app are free of charge. But when it comes to calling someone who does not have the app
installed, WhatsApp is left behind. Viber allows you to call people worldwide in either mobile or
landline numbers for a very low rate. To access this extra feature you need to connect your account
to your Paypal or to a credit card.
The Winner – Viber
Number Of Users –
This comparison may be one that makes the apps matter more to other users when it all comes
down to it. Since most people use messaging and VoIP apps to connect with their friends and family
members, this makes sense. After all, you want to be or go where you will find more people using
the same app as you. When it comes to total number of users, WhatsApp is the clear winner. They
have a bigger fan base and more people using it. Especially now that Facebook owns it. Still, Viber
is slowly bringing more people into its fold due to the extra features it offers that WhatsApp does not.
The Winner – WhatsApp

Voice Call Quality

Even though both of these apps began and are featured as messaging apps, many people use them
to make calls. That makes this a very important part of which is better between Viber vs. WhatsApp.
Viber has been offering both video and voice calling for a far longer time than WhatsApp has. They
also have HD quality options for users with high bandwidth connections. The results are clear voice
call quality.
The Winner – A Tie

Desktop Access –
You may not know it, but both WhatsApp and Viber have desktops apps that you can use on your
computers or laptops. WhatsApp has one for either Windows or Mac. The same goes for Viber
except Viber also has Linux. But when it comes to features, the Viber desktop app has much more to
offer. Viber desktop apps allows to not only send IM, you can also make voice and video calls.
The Winner – Viber

Video Calling
Viber has had video calling far longer than WhatsApp which just began offering the feature earlier
last year. The quality of the calls will depend on the connection speed you have. But overall, Viber
seems to be a bit better in Video calling for now.
The Winner – Viber

Public Chats
The winner by default here is Viber since WhatsApp does not have public chats.
Using the public chats from Viber lets you connect with public accounts from many places,
companies and groups.
The Winner – Viber
Groups –
This feature is offered on both the apps and they are basically the same. Both Viber and WhatsApp
have the same features when it comes to group chats since these are created by users. This makes
the contest a tie.
The Winner – A Tie

Hidden Chats –
The hidden chat feature is another one that separates Viber from WhatsApp since only Viber has it.
Using the hidden chats feature lets you keep the chat private and away from prying eyes. You set up
a PIN number so that only the people who have it will be able to access the chat.
The Winner – Viber

Gaming –
Most people love gaming on their mobile phones. Viber lets you play a list of games you can play
along with other Viber contacts. WhatsApp does not have this feature either. Keep in mind that the
games are not on the Viber app. However, they are created by Viber and let you challenge your
friends to play one another. The winner by default, again is Viber.
The Winner – Viber

Conclusion –
WhatsApp may have a larger number of users than Viber does. That may explain why some
feel that WhatsApp is better or more popular. However, when it comes to features, Viber is
the clear winner. The app offers users a lot more than WhatsApp does. But, this doesn’t mean
that you have to choose one from the other. You can simply have both apps installed on your
phone and use them according to your contacts.
