Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: MOTION X at 100% against SessionTalk SIP Softphone's 39%. MOTION X also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). SessionTalk SIP Softphone's advantage is ratings volume (1K vs 15) and rating (4.4 vs 4.2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SessionTalk SIP Softphone sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and MOTION X sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

SessionTalk SIP Softphone holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SessionTalk SIP Softphone has 1K ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 39% of SessionTalk SIP Softphone's written reviews are positive against 100% of MOTION X's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

SessionTalk SIP Softphone ships an update every 4 days, MOTION X every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
