DESCO holds the better App Store score, 2.9 against 1.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DESCO has 162 ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of gTalk HotDial's written reviews are positive against 18% of DESCO's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
gTalk HotDial ships an update every 2 months, DESCO monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
