Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Point Five at Free against Chess's $0.99. Point Five also leads on ratings volume (6 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.6). Chess's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On rating, review sentiment, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
