Today we bring you a duel between 2 great instant messaging applications. After this duel, we will see who wins, WhatsApp or Line.
Let's start with Whatsapp . This APP is the most used among most of us, perhaps it is the most used, because it was one of the first to appear and therefore we have all used it. But what does it offer us? What this APP offers us is the possibility of sending and receiving text messages, photography, videos, audio and all this completely "free". One but that this great APP has, is that you have to pay 0 every year.€99 for their services, the amount to pay is not outrageous, but in the AppStore there are many applications that offer this same service for free.
ADVANTAGES
- Send and receive messages, photos, videos
- All our contacts have this APP
DISADVANTAGES
- Server Downs
- Can't make calls
- There is no desktop application on PC/MAC
As for Line, its main virtue is the already famous stickers. These "stickers" mean that this APP has gained a large number of downloads in recent months, and it is that apart from its great speed when it comes to sending and receiving messages, if we add these stickers, we could be talking about an APP almost perfect.But not everything is good, perhaps this application would need several things to become perfect, such as the games, the timeline (Twitter style) Unlike WhatsApp, this APP is totally free, it does not have an annual payment service.
ADVANTAGES
- Free calls
- Multiplatform (we can find it on PC and Mac)
- Stickers
- Fluency
- Customization
- Send and receive messages, photos, videos
DISADVANTAGES
- Almost no one in our circle of contacts has this APP
- Twitter Style Timeline
- Games
WHATSAPP OR LINE ?
Now, after this brief introduction to these 2 great applications, the moment of truth arrives, decide between WhatsApp or Line.
Whatsapp imposes an annual payment of €0.99 on us (those who bought the APP do not have to pay for this service), this payment can stop many people from using this instant messaging service. This is where its main competitor comes in, as Line has gained a lot of users due to this payment. We remind you that Line is totally free.
In terms of functionality, from our point of view, Line wins the fairway, mostly because it never or almost never suffers server crashes. Contrary to WhatsApp, which has given more than one of us more than a head warm-up. A point very against WhatsApp, is the time that they have made us wait for its update to iOS 7, which only included an image wash in the purest style of iOS 7, something that many people ended up getting tired and deciding to change. from APP.
Having seen all this, we see that Line takes advantage of WhatsApp errors to gain users, users who, once they change, see that this APP is very fluid and above all very customizable.Perhaps something that the creator of Line will regret is how long it took to get this application out, and that is that once it came to light, its main competitor was already among us and was on all our devices.
Therefore, for us the winner is Line for its fluidity, customization and above all for those fun stickers. But its strong point is the free calls and that it is multiplatform, so we can enjoy it on both PC and Mac. But what about you, what do you prefer, Whatsapp or Line?
