# ChessBot vs SUPER CHESS BOARD

The clearest difference is rating: ChessBot at 4.0 against SUPER CHESS BOARD's 2.0. ChessBot also leads on review sentiment (67% vs 25%) and ratings volume (34 vs 3). SUPER CHESS BOARD's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ChessBot sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and SUPER CHESS BOARD sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ChessBot holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ChessBot has 34 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 67% of ChessBot's written reviews are positive against 25% of SUPER CHESS BOARD's.

ChessBot ships an update every 2 months, SUPER CHESS BOARD fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on August 29, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
