Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Origami at Free against ChatMate_'s $9.99. Origami also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 27 months) and ratings volume (1.2K vs 3). ChatMate_'s advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 60%) and in-app purchases (none vs 6). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
