Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Checkers Primo holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Checkers Primo has 1.5K ratings behind it against 140, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of Checkers Primo's written reviews are positive against 71% of Checkers!!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Checkers Primo ships an update every 5 months, Checkers!! every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
