GhostCall vs. WhatsApp for Calls in Canada
WhatsApp suits ongoing contacts who already share numbers. GhostCall suits one-off or private calls where you'd rather not share a number or create an account.
Setup
WhatsApp needs an installed app linked to a phone number. GhostCall runs in a browser without sign-up.

Privacy trade-offs
WhatsApp calls are end-to-end encrypted, but your number is visible to contacts. With GhostCall there's no number to see, though peer-to-peer connections can reveal an IP address to the other side.
Choosing
Use WhatsApp for family and friends abroad who already use it. Use GhostCall for landlords, buyers or new acquaintances you'd rather not give your number to.
Make a call without creating an account
GhostCall lets you start a voice call from your browser with no sign-up and no phone number.
