Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: iShogi at Free against Kitten Escape's $0.99. iShogi also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and review sentiment (100% vs 82%). Kitten Escape's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 17.6). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
