Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: QQvu at 100% against Cipchat's 20%. QQvu also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). Cipchat's advantage is ratings volume (60 vs 2) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
