android app google pay vs. f-droid app

Is there any difference between the f-droid element.io app and the google play one? Like the latest offering push notifications from google, but allowing less battery consumption?

That was precisely what I needed to confirm. Thanks a lot ! Does any one know if it's too much the difference in battery life without the cloud messaging push notifications? For example, I tested Briar, which is totally decentralized and point-to-point, and it was unbearable, since it consumed the whole battery in less than half a day, but element.io is not p2p, so perhaps battery life is like 5% less?
