Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: ChessRobot at 83% against ZooQ's 25%. ChessRobot also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.0) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 9 days). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. ZooQ sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and ChessRobot sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
ChessRobot holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ChessRobot has 10 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 25% of ZooQ's written reviews are positive against 83% of ChessRobot's.
ZooQ ships an update every 9 days, ChessRobot every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
