Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: FORMULA FORUM at free against RingCentral's subscription. FORMULA FORUM also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks). RingCentral's advantage is ratings volume (78K vs 1) and chart position (#79 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
