# LINE vs VoipSwitch RCS

The clearest difference is rating: LINE at 3.2 against VoipSwitch RCS's 1.0. LINE also leads on ratings volume (18K vs 1) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months). VoipSwitch RCS's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LINE sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and VoipSwitch RCS sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

LINE holds the better App Store score, 3.2 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LINE has 18K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 15% of LINE's written reviews are positive against 0% of VoipSwitch RCS's.

LINE ships an update every 9 days, VoipSwitch RCS every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and June 5, 2026 respectively.
