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 Wavebox if…
You want a complete browser for work, with any website, groups of apps and team features, on Mac, Windows or Linux.

What the table doesn’t show
Two different jobs
Wavebox is a browser around many web apps, which suits people who live in dozens of tabs. IsolaDesk is not a browser: it opens WhatsApp Web only, one isolated workspace per number, with notifications that name the workspace, up to four side by side and a lock with Touch ID.
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
