Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Real Chess 3D at Free against Custom Chess + Alien Speed's $0.99. Real Chess 3D also leads on rating (4.7 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (162K vs 1). Custom Chess + Alien Speed's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 11 days vs every 7 months). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
