# Chessify vs Nummery

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Nummery at 100% against Chessify's 46%. Nummery also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and update cadence (every 4 days vs monthly). Chessify's advantage is ratings volume (398 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Chessify sells 19 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Nummery sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Nummery holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Chessify has 398 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 46% of Chessify's written reviews are positive against 100% of Nummery's.

Chessify ships an update monthly, Nummery every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
