Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: MoshUp at none against fake chess's shown. MoshUp also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). fake chess's advantage is update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 2 months). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
