Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Chess ⁺ at 85% against 3D Chess's 41%. Chess ⁺ also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.0) and ads (none vs shown). 3D Chess's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support 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 7 one-off in-app purchases and 3D Chess sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Chess ⁺ holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Chess ⁺ has 2.9K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 85% of Chess ⁺'s written reviews are positive against 41% of 3D Chess's.
Chess ⁺ ships an update every 2 months, 3D Chess every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
