Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Chess Codex at none against Ultra Ping Pong's 3. Chess Codex also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 4 weeks). Ultra Ping Pong's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
