Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Proxima Chat at 100% against RoomSync's 18%. Proxima Chat also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). RoomSync's advantage is ratings volume (4.4K vs 23) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
