Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Hex Chess at 100% against Chess Mega Bundle's 50%. Hex Chess also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). Chess Mega Bundle's advantage is ratings volume (125 vs 9) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
