Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Chess ∙ at none against Super Auto Pets's 16. Chess ∙ also leads on ratings volume (205K vs 4.3K) and chart position (#80 vs unranked). Super Auto Pets's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.
