Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Chess at none against Factor Find's shown. Chess also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 7 months) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 11.0). Factor Find's advantage is ratings volume (154 vs 11) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Chess sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Factor Find sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Factor Find holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Factor Find has 154 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Chess's written reviews are positive against 98% of Factor Find's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Chess ships an update every 6 weeks, Factor Find every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on September 10, 2026 and June 11, 2026 respectively.
