The verdict: which one should you use?
If you want a free US number to receive calls and texts, and you mostly call inside the US and Canada, Talkatone is the better fit: Hyallo does not give you a number. If you need to call other countries, or call from a computer without installing anything, Hyallo is the simpler choice.

Free inside the US and Canada, credits for everywhere else
Talkatone is built around a free second number: calls and texts to most US and Canada numbers cost nothing, and ads pay for it. International calls are different: you buy Talkatone credits in the app, and a paid option removes the ads. If what you need is to call a number in another country, Hyallo skips the app and the second number. You sign up with an email, the first minute is free, and each call is charged per minute at the rate shown for that country.
What is Talkatone?
Talkatone is a Wi-Fi calling and texting app for iOS and Android. It gives you a free US or Canada phone number, free calls and texts to most US and Canada numbers, and it is paid for by ads. International calling uses Talkatone credits bought in the app.
Why people look for a Talkatone alternative
Most people searching for one want to call outside the US and Canada, call from a laptop rather than a phone, or avoid ads during an important call. For those calls, a browser dialer with a published per-minute rate is simpler than buying credits in a second-number app.
