Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Chess Vision at none against White Pawn's 6. Chess Vision also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 65%) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). White Pawn's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 7 months). On price, rating, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. White Pawn sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Chess Vision asks for nothing beyond the download.
White Pawn holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 11 and 11 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Chess Vision's written reviews are positive against 65% of White Pawn's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Chess Vision ships an update every 7 months, White Pawn daily. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
