Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Shak at 5.0 against Talksy Chat's 3.6. Shak also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Talksy Chat's advantage is ratings volume (14 vs 1) and chart position (#209 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
