Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Smart Oud at none against ChessBot's 8. Smart Oud also leads on review sentiment (80% vs 59%) and ratings volume (217 vs 45). ChessBot's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 10 months). On price, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ChessBot sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Smart Oud asks for nothing beyond the download.
ChessBot holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 217 and 45 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Smart Oud's written reviews are positive against 59% of ChessBot's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Smart Oud ships an update every 10 months, ChessBot weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
