Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: 3D Chess Game at every 3 weeks against Crazy Bishop's every 6 months. 3D Chess Game also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (3.5K vs 14). Crazy Bishop's advantage is review sentiment (86% vs 76%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

3D Chess Game holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 3D Chess Game has 3.5K ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of Crazy Bishop's written reviews are positive against 76% of 3D Chess Game's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Crazy Bishop ships an update every 6 months, 3D Chess Game every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
