# Chess ∙ vs Super Auto Pets

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.

Both are free to download. Super Auto Pets sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Chess ∙ asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Chess ∙ against 4.6 for Super Auto Pets. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Chess ∙ has 205K ratings behind it against 4.3K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 57% of Chess ∙'s written reviews are positive against 70% of Super Auto Pets's.

Chess ∙ ships an update every 4 months, Super Auto Pets every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
