Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Chess at none against Fast Buzzer's 1. Chess also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). Fast Buzzer's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 6 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
