In short
Choose IsolaDesk if…
You handle three WhatsApp numbers or more on a computer, which is where a phone with two accounts stops being enough, and you want an app made only for that: every number in its own isolated workspace, notifications that name the workspace, up to four side by side and an app lock with a passcode, or Touch ID on Mac.
Choose Rambox if…
You want Slack, Gmail, WhatsApp and many other web apps in one window, you also work on Linux, or two WhatsApp accounts are enough for you: according to their website, the free Basic plan allows 2 instances per app.

What the table doesn’t show
Two different jobs
Rambox is broad: workspaces, tiles, focus mode, an app lock and hibernation across hundreds of services, on three systems. IsolaDesk only does WhatsApp, on Mac and Windows PC: an Overview of every number, notifications that name the workspace, a lock with Touch ID, and a lifetime license, which Rambox’s pricing page does not list.
Memory with several accounts
Each WhatsApp account open on a computer uses memory, whatever the app. We will publish a measurement of IsolaDesk with six accounts open, made on a real Mac; until then, we quote no number. IsolaDesk can also put inactive workspaces to sleep.
Privacy
The app has no analytics and no advertising. Your messages go directly between your computer and WhatsApp; our license server only receives your license key, a pseudonymous device ID, your computer’s name and the app version. Security details
