Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Chess Trainer Pro at 4.0 against Chess Board's 2.0. Chess Trainer Pro also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (80% vs 50%). Chess Board's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
