Skype
Skype is a software application that allows users to make voice and video calls and chats over the Internet. Calls to other users within the Skype service are free, while calls to both traditional landline telephones and mobile phones can be made for a fee using a debit-based user account system. Skype has also become popular for its additional features which include instant messaging, file transfer, and videoconferencing. Skype alternative for enterprise is called Skype for Business.

Yolla
Yolla allows to make cheaper international calls to any mobile or landline phone. When calling abroad Yolla displays your number, so the people you call will always know it’s you.

Skype and Yolla are both voice&video internet calling services for calls to landline and mobile phones. They support text messaging and file sharing but are primarily used for international VoIP calling. Both can be used on various devices, including phones and computers.

But old-good Skype (since 2003) is widely used for professional communication, including business meetings. It's owned by Microsoft and plays good with MS Office and that's why still used as a video calling software on desktop. It has larger global user base due to its longer presence in the market.

Yolla (launched in 2016) is UAE-based service, focuses more on users who need low-cost international calls. It sells international calling credits and doesn't care about integration with other productivity tools. Sure, it has smaller user base compared to Skype.
