Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 4té at none against Network Messenger's 1. 4té also leads on iOS requirement (13.2 vs 18.6). Network Messenger's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (27 vs 2). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
