The clearest difference is update cadence: Chess Time at every 10 days against 揭棋Online's every 10 months. Chess Time also leads on ratings volume (1.7K vs 68) and review sentiment (86% vs 69%). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
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. Chess Time sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and 揭棋Online sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Chess Time against 4.8 for 揭棋Online.

Written reviews are what separate them: 86% of Chess Time's written reviews are positive against 69% of 揭棋Online's.
Chess Time ships an update every 10 days, 揭棋Online every 10 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 11, 2026 respectively.
