Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: HelloWay at 5.0 against Letstalk IM's 3.9. HelloWay also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Letstalk IM's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (101 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

HelloWay holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.9.

Written reviews complicate that: 25% of HelloWay's written reviews are positive against 34% of Letstalk IM's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
