StipaCaller vs OvateChat

StipaCaller is a small messenger for families, made in Finland, EU, by Lesti Software Oy. Your data is stored in Finland, and your messages are end-to-end encrypted, so even we can't read them. Call and write to the people closest to you — parents, grandparents, children — wherever they live. It's simple enough for grandparents: answer a call, look at a photo, send a voice message. Private by design • Messages, photos and calls are end-to-end encrypted: only your family can read and hear them, not us. • No phone number needed: everyone picks a username. • No ads, no tracking, no analytics, and no address-book upload. • Notifications never contain the text of your messages; messages are decrypted on your phone. What you can do • Voice and video calls • Messages, photos, videos and voice messages • Family group chats • See when a call can't get through, or the other phone is on silent, and leave a message instead • Missed-call notifications with one-tap call back For your whole family Start a family in the app and invite your relatives with a link or a QR code.
