Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Chatium at free with in-app purchases against SQL Server Mobile Client's subscription. Chatium also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.2) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks). SQL Server Mobile Client's advantage is review sentiment (77% vs 54%). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SQL Server Mobile Client sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Chatium sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $39.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Chatium holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 56 and 39 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of SQL Server Mobile Client's written reviews are positive against 54% of Chatium's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SQL Server Mobile Client ships an update every 3 weeks, Chatium every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
