Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Delta Chat at free against Reeeby's free with in-app purchases. Delta Chat also leads on ratings volume (127 vs 24) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.2). Reeeby's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
