# ™ Checkers vs Шахматы

The clearest difference is review sentiment: ™ Checkers at 36% against Шахматы's 0%. ™ Checkers also leads on ratings volume (755 vs 3) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). Шахматы's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 4 months) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ™ Checkers sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Шахматы sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

™ Checkers holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ™ Checkers has 755 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 36% of ™ Checkers's written reviews are positive against 0% of Шахматы's.

™ Checkers ships an update every 4 months, Шахматы every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
