Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Dice Chess Timer at none against Surge's 1. Dice Chess Timer also leads on ads (none vs shown). Surge's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 14 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
