Session vs simplex or other alternatives? (lemmy.ml)

Session messenger android client currently feels unpolished while simplex seems to require it to run in the background for instant notifications. Is there an alternative that is better than those 2?

may kill a background app even when told not to

Most of the time this can disabled somewhere in the app permissions. i have done this for a couple of apps without much issue.
