Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: DARI at 54% against Video Intercom's 8%. DARI also leads on rating (4.6 vs 1.5) and update cadence (monthly vs every 7 months). Video Intercom's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
