Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: HighLevel at free against RingCentral's subscription. HighLevel also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 weeks). RingCentral's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (77K vs 3.7K). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
RingCentral holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RingCentral has 77K ratings behind it against 3.7K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 37% of RingCentral's written reviews are positive against 25% of HighLevel's.
RingCentral ships an update every 3 weeks, HighLevel every 10 days. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
