# Chess Clock vs Classic chess

The clearest difference is rating: Chess Clock at 5.0 against Classic chess's 4.4. Chess Clock also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Classic chess's advantage is ratings volume (74 vs 3). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Chess Clock holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Classic chess has 74 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.
