Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: WebSocket Client at 100% against Pal Chat's 59%. WebSocket Client also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2). Pal Chat's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 30 months) and ratings volume (429 vs 3). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pal Chat sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. WebSocket Client asks for nothing beyond the download.
Pal Chat holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pal Chat has 429 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of WebSocket Client's written reviews are positive against 59% of Pal Chat's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
WebSocket Client ships an update every 30 months, Pal Chat every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
