The clearest difference is review sentiment: MeChat at 58% against LoreChat's 0%. MeChat also leads on rating (4.6 vs 3.8) and ratings volume (98K vs 6). LoreChat's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MeChat sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and LoreChat sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
