Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Console Chat at 5.0 against Firefly's 4.2. Console Chat also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 80%) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 17). Firefly's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly) and ratings volume (25 vs 5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
