    All the same features, same look and feel changing skin. The only cons: Can't make conference or transfer unless you pay. Can't set up auto answer as well (available in licenced version)

    It shows options to change the call configuration after the set up unlike others where we cannot change the account configurations.

    Zoiper requires one of their selected providers, you can't add a local PABX.
