Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Dehay at 75% against International Calling's 36%. Dehay also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). International Calling's advantage is ratings volume (9K vs 8). On price, ads, in-app purchases 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. International Calling sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Dehay sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Dehay holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: International Calling has 9K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 36% of International Calling's written reviews are positive against 75% of Dehay's.
International Calling ships an update every 3 weeks, Dehay every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
