baresip+ vs WiVeWa
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
baresip+
This is a baresip based SIP and mobile calling and messaging User Agent for Android. Currently baresip+ supports SIP and mobile based voice calls and messages as well as SIP based video calls. In addition, voice conference calls, voicemail Message Waiting Indication as well as blind and attended call transfers are available when SIP is used. MMS messaging is not supported yet. In SIP calls audio can be coded with Opus, AMR, Codec2, G.729, G.722, G.722.1, or PCMU/PCMA codecs. Video can be coded with VP9, VP8, H.265, H.264, or AV1 codecs. Security is achieved via TLS or WSS SIP signaling transport and ZRTP or (DTLS) SRTP media encapsulation. Development of baresip+ is motivated by need for a secure, open source SIP based VoIP User Agent for Android that does not depend on proprietary, third party push notification services. Contacts, mobile calling, and SMS messaging were added in order to reduce app pollution. This application can be installed on Android devices running Android version 9 or later. Mobile calling and messaging needs Android version 10 or later. If you don't need video calling, you can instead of this app install its lighter weight sister app baresip. Source code is available at GitHub, where also issues can be reported.
WiVeWa
To use this Application, you need a subscription for the proprietary wivewa.de server component This is the Android client for WiVeWa. It is mainly a Browser that opens WiVeWa, but there is more: - the App uses a private key that is generated and stored in your hardware for the authentication - the App downloads the addressbook and provides it as "Wontakte" - the App can show caller details (name + last ticket) when using Welefon or another compatible App - the App can upload incoming and outgoing call details to the WiVeWa phone system ("Korrespondenzliste" extension)
