The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: .Social at none against IM+ Instant Messenger's 4. .Social also leads on rating (3.9 vs 3.5) and iOS requirement (7.1 vs 15.6). IM+ Instant Messenger's advantage is review sentiment (69% vs 50%) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
