Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Chessfisher at none against BlockIn's 1. Chessfisher also leads on ratings volume (5 vs 1). BlockIn's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 8 days) and device support (4 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
