Whatsapp It is now officially a paid application and its great challenge now consists in convincing users that it is worth spending one euro a year to maintain the service, and thus avoid the rout. The opportunity, however, is excellent for competitors, especially for Line, which has long been emerging as the most feasible alternative and what. taking advantage of the moment, he has just announced that it will always be free.
While users are considering whether or not to pay the euro to continue enjoying Whatsapp, your clearest competitor, Line, has launched a message to the user as a claim, announcing that their service will always be free. With 100 million users, it is emerging as the most powerful option to snatch the throne from the application WhatsappHowever, it has some features that are not entirely to the consumer's taste, on the other hand, fragmentation always creates a bit of organizational chaos and the most practical at the user level would be to keep all contacts in the same service.
From our point of view. The great fort of Line it is your ability to unify devices. It can be used on both phones and tablets and PCs without any complications, while to install Whatsapp outside the mobile one must walk with tutorials, because it is not something so simple. However, the large consumption of resources and battery in tablets and phones are its main fault. As other media showed Android Help in a comparison of the two applications, Line it is much heavier and requires more hardware and power to move, while its rival app is significantly lighter.
As a third option appears the Spanish spotbros, a startup with only 10 workers, which is also seeing an increase in its number of users since whatsapp started charging for the subscription and has just surpassed the million downloads figure. Its strong point is both the issue of security and in some options that rivals lack: the possibility of finding contacts from their geolocation or to ask other users questions to, for example, ask for some kind of recommendation about the area in which you are.
There will always be better free options and the line is not only one of them because I found that the best viber month maintains better quality in its use than the line and is more compatible with all operating systems of both smartfons and tables, the ideal would be that were independent of the cell phone because they make these programs very dependent on cell phones and leave the tables out of those programs unless you link the internet of your cell phone with your tablet and stop using some of those programs on cell phones, because both the whatsapp like viber and line depend on cell numbers to be able to install them on a tablet which you have to check by entering the code they send you through msn, but disable your cell from that same program, even so in my humble opinion it is better the viber that line.
