    • Very similar concept. Rambox is also open-source and supports more applications. syntax • Feb 2017 • 13 agrees and 2 disagrees Disagree   Agree
    • Opensource app with large list of supported messenger types! Murz • Apr 2018 • 2 agrees and 2 disagrees Disagree   Agree
    • Rambox has similar concept like Franz and has more services than Franz which makes it extremely cool. However, Rambox is still too raw - it forgets your configuration when you try to restore from backup and when you have more than 25 services then you just do not see more than 25 and navigating between them is uncomfortable. edmundlaugasson • Jul 2017 • 2 agrees and 2 disagrees Disagree   Agree
    • Very similar to Franz. Same base (Electron) and same concept (multi tabbed window with separate sessions). But Rambox is very immature and raw in design UI details, notification, user experience, so now I prefer to stay at Franz. michalciania • Sep 2017 • 2 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree   Agree
    • Very similar plus it's opensource Guest • Nov 2017 Disagree   Agree

  • Station

    Station is the first smart workstation for busy people. A single place for all of your web-applications. .

    • Beautiful design and more easy to configure, right. A lot of apps, right. But, no languages support (only english) and really not consume less ram. On my test : 4 services connected on both (Franz and Station), Station takes about 2,1 Go of Ram ! Franz consume 700 mo. In comparision, I have also 30 opened tabs in Chrome and it consume about 1 Go of my Ram. Guest • Apr 2019 • 4 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree   Agree
