Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Ship Battling Multiplayer at none against Chess Time's 3. Ship Battling Multiplayer also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Chess Time's advantage is ratings volume (1.7K vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.5). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
