Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 55 Messenger at none against 3T's 10. 55 Messenger also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). 3T's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
