Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Chess at monthly against Easy Chess ™'s every 13 months. Chess also leads on review sentiment (83% vs 64%). Easy Chess ™'s advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (497 vs 33). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Easy Chess ™ sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Chess sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Easy Chess ™ holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Easy Chess ™ has 497 ratings behind it against 33, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Easy Chess ™'s written reviews are positive against 83% of Chess's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Easy Chess ™ ships an update every 13 months, Chess monthly. Both last shipped on October 16, 2026.
