Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Easy Chess ™ at 4.5 against Master Chess's 3.1. Easy Chess ™ also leads on review sentiment (64% vs 27%) and ads (none vs shown). Master Chess's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 13 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
