The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BallMash at none against PlainShogiBoard / Plain将棋盤's 1. BallMash also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 27.0). PlainShogiBoard / Plain将棋盤's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and device support (6 vs 3). On price there is nothing between them.
