Viber is a mobile app that provides free international calls and text messages to other Viber users using 3G or Wi-Fi. Uses your existing contact list - check out which of your phone contacts and friends is already on Viber so that you can call and text them for free.
Signal and Viber are to popular messengers, available on multiple platforms (iOS android, desktop) that allow users to send files, photos, videos, make voice and video calls. Both provide end-to-end encryption for messages and group chats.
But Signal (available since in 2010) is more focused on privacy and security and promises minimal data collection. It's funded by donations and grants rather than advertisements or in-app purchases. Signal's user base tends to be more privacy-conscious - like top managers and businessmen.
Viber (2010) owned by Japanese company Rakuten, is less security-addicted but more user-friendly and offers additional features like public chat channels and a sticker store. Besides, it includes VoIP service that allows users to make calls to traditional phone lines (landlines, mobiles) for a fee. Viber is often used by business to support and notify customers.
