Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Chess at none against REVERSI ZERO's shown. Chess also leads on ratings volume (39K vs 75) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). REVERSI ZERO's advantage is review sentiment (87% vs 70%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Chess sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and REVERSI ZERO sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Chess holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Chess has 39K ratings behind it against 75, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of Chess's written reviews are positive against 87% of REVERSI ZERO's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Chess ships an update every 6 weeks, REVERSI ZERO monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
