Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Jelly Chess 3D at none against Mini Chess's shown. Jelly Chess 3D also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and review sentiment (100% vs 83%). Mini Chess's advantage is ratings volume (345 vs 3). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mini Chess sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Jelly Chess 3D sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Jelly Chess 3D holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mini Chess has 345 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 83% of Mini Chess's written reviews are positive against 100% of Jelly Chess 3D's.
