Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Tri at 100% against Chess Mega Bundle's 50%. Tri also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 7 months). Chess Mega Bundle's advantage is ratings volume (125 vs 3) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.5). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Chess Mega Bundle sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Tri sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Tri holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Chess Mega Bundle has 125 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of Chess Mega Bundle's written reviews are positive against 100% of Tri's.
Chess Mega Bundle ships an update every 7 months, Tri every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
