Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ReFx Server Manager at none against ChatMC's 1. ReFx Server Manager also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). ChatMC's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs fortnightly). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
