Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Easy Chess ™ at none against Chess Online's shown. Easy Chess ™ also leads on ratings volume (505 vs 68) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Chess Online's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 13 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
