Main difference
Viber Out lives inside a messaging app and gives you several ways to pay, including credit and plans. Talkala is a standalone browser tool with one prepaid wallet. Viber Out is better for people already comfortable with Viber. Talkala is better when you want the call outside another app.
How you place a call
With Viber Out, you open Viber, go to its calling area, and place the call using Viber credit or a plan. It is a good setup if Viber is already where you keep your calling and messaging.
With Talkala, you open a browser tab, enter the number, check the displayed rate, and dial. The call still rings a real mobile or landline abroad, but you do not need to install Viber or keep credit in another app.
Plans and flexibility
Viber Out offers World Credit and monthly plans, including country and multi-country options. That can be useful if your calling pattern is regular enough for a plan to be worth it.
Talkala avoids plan choice. You add credit once, see the per-minute rate before each call, and spend from the same wallet. That is easier when your calls are occasional, spread across different countries, or shared by a team.

Pricing
Viber Out lets you choose between credit and calling plans. Talkala uses one prepaid wallet. Both can show destination pricing, but the decision is different: choose Viber Out when a plan is clearly useful, or Talkala when you want one balance and no plan decision.
Viber Out offers credit packs and monthly plans depending on how often you call.
Talkala uses one prepaid wallet balance that works for calls to any supported country.
Both show destination rates before you call so you can estimate your cost.

Which should you use
If Viber is already your messaging app and its credit or plan options match how you call, Viber Out is reasonable. If you do not want to set up another app and just need to ring a real number from the browser, Talkala is more direct.
