Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Chess Only at none against Chess World Master's shown. Chess Only also leads on review sentiment (75% vs 42%) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Chess World Master's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 4.0). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Chess World Master holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 32 and 29 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 42% of Chess World Master's written reviews are positive against 75% of Chess Only's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Chess World Master ships an update every 2 months, Chess Only fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
