I would say none and all.
It is not a matter of API, it is a matter of your design which will be efficient or not.
First of all you need to list the features you want, this is what may matter to choose an API.

Thank you. I am developing the web API in C# for a group chat application, no personal chat is possible in the application. The front end for the application is developed using swift. I also want to save the posts and corresponding details to my database. Users can post messages, images to his/her group.

Thank you. I am developing the web API in C# for a group chat application. The front end for the application is developed using swift. I also want to save the posts and corresponding details to my database. Is it possible to use SignalR for this application? I only have group chat in my application, no personal chat is possible in the application.

It is possible. Make use of the features that SignalR has to offer you, then just integrate it with your UI. You should be good to go.
