# Chess.com vs Move Zero

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Move Zero at none against Chess.com's 10. Move Zero also leads on ads (none vs shown). Chess.com's advantage is chart position (#1 vs unranked) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Chess.com sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Move Zero asks for nothing beyond the download.
