Choose Conversations (Jabber / XMPP) if...
Conversations (Jabber/XMPP) is a solid choice for security-conscious users who value open-source software and the flexibility of the XMPP protocol. If you're comfortable managing your own XMPP server or finding a reliable provider, and don't require OTR, this app is well worth the price. However, be prepared to troubleshoot occasional technical glitches and verify that push notifications function correctly on your device.
Choose GroupMe if...
GroupMe is a useful tool for simple group communication, especially if you need a free and accessible option for coordinating with a large group across different platforms. However, be prepared to deal with occasional technical hiccups and notification issues, which may make it unsuitable for critical or time-sensitive communications.
