⚖️ The Verdict

By our entirely fabricated metrics, Conversations (Jabber / XMPP) wins the race to the bottom of your free time. Messenger is the “responsible” choice, in the way that a slightly smaller slice of cake is responsible. There are no winners here. Only documented hours.

Pick Your Poison

🐙

Оберіть Conversations (Jabber / XMPP), якщо...

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.

Оберіть Messenger, якщо...

Messenger is a popular choice due to its widespread use and Facebook integration, making it nearly essential for those deeply embedded in the Meta ecosystem. However, those valuing stability, speed, and minimal storage usage might find alternatives like Signal more appealing, especially considering the recurring performance issues reported by many users.
