# Aimchess vs ORIGEN

The clearest difference is review sentiment: ORIGEN at 100% against Aimchess's 51%. ORIGEN also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.9) and update cadence (every 5 days vs monthly). Aimchess's advantage is ratings volume (196 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Aimchess sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and ORIGEN sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ORIGEN holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Aimchess has 196 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 51% of Aimchess's written reviews are positive against 100% of ORIGEN's.

Aimchess ships an update monthly, ORIGEN every 5 days. Both last shipped on October 25, 2026.
