Emergency Calls CounterPath's Bria mobile products provide handling designed to redirect emergency calls to the Native Cellular dialer when possible on a best reasonable commercial efforts basis, however this functionality is also dependent on the operating system of the mobile phone which is outside of our control and subject to change at any time. As a result, the official position of CounterPath is that CounterPath's Bria product is not intended, designed, or fit for placing, carrying or supporting Emergency Calls. CounterPath will not be liable for any costs or damages arising either directly nor indirectly from the use of the software for Emergency Calls. Using Bria as a default dialer may interfere with dialing emergency services.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Bria at 4.5 against Cloud Softphone's 3.4. Bria also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (992 vs 78). Cloud Softphone's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs monthly). On price, review sentiment, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Cloud Softphone sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Bria asks for nothing beyond the download.
Bria holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bria has 992 ratings behind it against 78, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Cloud Softphone's written reviews are positive against 29% of Bria's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Cloud Softphone ships an update weekly, Bria monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
