Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Dial Connect at 100% against RingCentral's 37%. Dial Connect also leads on monetization model (free vs subscription) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks). RingCentral's advantage is ratings volume (78K vs 5) and chart position (#117 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
