FluffyChat is a less power hungry alternative to Element. The reason these use so much battery is that they constantly check for new messages and don't do it over the privacy infringing Google cloud messaging services, also known as Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM), if it's Android. These are integrated into the system and work a bit more efficiently.
