Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Message Games at 4.6 against GameChat's 3.0. Message Games also leads on ratings volume (33 vs 2). GameChat's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Message Games sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. GameChat asks for nothing beyond the download.
Message Games holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Message Games has 33 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of GameChat's written reviews are positive against 92% of Message Games's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
