Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Rapid Chess at 5.0 against Play Chess Games's 4.4. Rapid Chess also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Play Chess Games's advantage is ratings volume (17K vs 2). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
