Verdict
The clearest difference is price: PVChess at Free against StudyAider's $0.99. PVChess also leads on device support (4 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). StudyAider's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months). On ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
