Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Syf Plus at 100% against GoChat Messenger's 62%. Syf Plus also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). GoChat Messenger's advantage is ratings volume (5.5K vs 1) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs paid). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
