DialAnyone vs Onoff
Onoff vs DialAnyone: per-number subscription vs pay-as-you-go all-in-one
Quick Answer
DialAnyone is the better all-in-one alternative to Onoff for most people: one app gives you a real phone number in 50+ countries, calls to 200+ countries, SMS/MMS texting, and global eSIM data in 216+ countries — all pay-as-you-go with no monthly fees, no contracts, and no credit card to start. Onoff sells second numbers on a per-number subscription in 120+ countries. DialAnyone bundles numbers, 200+ country calling and eSIM data on pay-as-you-go credits.
Bottom line: choose DialAnyone if you want calls, texts, a real number, and mobile data in one place at pay-as-you-go pricing. Onoff may suit you if numbers selectable in 120+ countries and 1,000+ cities is your single priority.
DialAnyone vs Onoff: the full picture
Onoff is a French-born second-number app that leans into the idea of separating the parts of your life, work calls on one line, dating or classifieds on another, all on a single device with no extra SIM. You can pick numbers in 120+ countries and over a thousand cities, hold up to five at once, and toggle them on and off as personas change. A 7-day free trial lets you try before the subscription kicks in.
The model is the friction point. Onoff charges a recurring fee per number, roughly $9.99 a month, though it drops to as little as EUR 3.49 in some regions and a US line runs about $1.99, and those costs stack every time you add a line. It is app-only with no browser calling, and there is no eSIM or mobile data. Pricing shifts by the number's nationality and your commitment length, which makes the true monthly cost hard to predict. Onoff is genuinely good at privacy and international number selection, but it is a subscription-per-line product, not a low-cost engine for calling 200+ countries or a single balance that also covers your travel data.

Pricing: Onoff vs DialAnyone
Onoff is subscription-based per number: around $9.99 a month for many lines, from about EUR 3.49 in some regions, and roughly $1.99 for a US number, after a 7-day trial. Each additional line is its own recurring charge, and the rate depends on the number's country and your commitment term. DialAnyone replaces all of that with one pay-as-you-go balance at 200 credits per $1, no per-number subscription and no per-seat fee. You fund the account once and draw from it for calls to 200+ countries, SMS and MMS, and eSIM data in 216+ countries. If you keep several numbers or call widely, Onoff's stacking subscriptions usually cost more than DialAnyone's usage-based credits.

Our Honest Verdict
Onoff does its core job well: multiple toggleable numbers in a huge range of countries, neatly separating work, dating, and everyday contacts on one phone. If persona-style privacy is what you are after, it is a thoughtful app. The trade-offs are the subscription-per-number model that quietly adds up, pricing that shifts by country and term, no browser calling, and no data. DialAnyone reframes the same needs around one pay-as-you-go balance: real numbers in 50+ countries, calling to 200+, SMS and MMS, and eSIM data in 216+ countries, with browser and app access and no per-line fees. Onoff is a tidy privacy tool; DialAnyone is the more economical all-in-one when numbers, calling, and data all live in one place.
Choose DialAnyone if you want:
Choose DialAnyone if you want one balance for calls, texts, and travel data, avoid per-number subscriptions, or need broad international calling rather than just managed personas.
Choose Onoff if you need:
