Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Skool Communities at none against PayaChat's 9. Skool Communities also leads on chart position (#28 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). PayaChat's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
