Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BlueLinker at none against SocketChat's 1. BlueLinker also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months). SocketChat's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price there is nothing between them.
