Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: GビズID at none against Chatwork's shown. GビズID also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Chatwork's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (16% vs 4%). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
