Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: ArboStar at 91% against Rogers Business Softphone's 8%. ArboStar also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (35 vs 5). Rogers Business Softphone's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 3.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Rogers Business Softphone holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ArboStar has 35 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of ArboStar's written reviews are positive against 8% of Rogers Business Softphone's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ArboStar ships an update every 9 days, Rogers Business Softphone every 2 months. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
