Best for a softphone for the SIP line you already have

Zoiper is a softphone that calls over a SIP provider or PBX you already use, with a €59.95 one-time license for the desktop. But it sells no phone lines, the free edition is for non-commercial use only, and it does only that one job.

Who Zoiper is for

  • Fits if you already have a SIP provider and want a calling app
  • Works for individuals who want a one-time price, not a subscription

Who Zoiper is not for

  • Not for you if you need phone numbers, as Zoiper doesn't sell them
  • Skip it if you need the free edition for work, as it is limited to non-commercial use
  • Watch out: prices are in euros and VAT is added at checkout, with no dollar price
  • Tight if you need mobile for a team: licenses start at 10 users and go through sales

Keep Zoiper, or make your own?

Keep it

To replace Zoiper you would be making phone numbers and calls carried over the phone network. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.4 is higher than 55 of the 77 other business phone systems we grade. It costs $66.98, paid once.

What you could not

  • Phone numbers and calls carried over the phone network.
  • Video calls.
  • Apps for macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.

What this rests on. Zoiper’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.

What is Zoiper?

Zoiper is a softphone: an app that places and receives calls over SIP through a VoIP provider or PBX you already use. It does not sell phone lines itself. A free edition covers non-commercial use, and Zoiper 5 PRO is a paid license for business features such as call recording and CRM integration.

Worth knowing

  • Zoiper does not provide phone numbers or lines; you need a separate SIP provider or PBX.
  • The free edition is limited to non-commercial use, so business use needs a paid license.
  • Prices are in euros and the checkout adds VAT; the page offered no US dollar price.
  • Mobile team licenses are only for 10 or more users and are arranged through sales.
