Same idea, different account model
Yadaphone is built around quick, one-off calls: open the page, dial, pay for that call — with little in the way of a saved account or reusable balance. CallTuv is a fuller account: buy credit upfront (from $5) that never expires, and spend it across as many calls as you like, in the browser or its app. Neither offers a way to test the line for free before paying.

The verdict: who is each one actually for?
Yadaphone fits a genuinely one-off call — you need to reach one number once and never expect to use the service again, so a reusable balance would go to waste.
CallTuv fits someone who calls abroad regularly, is comfortable committing $5 upfront, and wants the option of a native app alongside the browser.
Hyallo fits someone who wants the reusable-credit convenience of CallTuv but without paying anything until after they’ve heard the call quality for themselves.
