# Checkers!! vs ™ Checkers

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Checkers!! at none against ™ Checkers's 1. Checkers!! also leads on review sentiment (71% vs 36%). ™ Checkers's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (753 vs 140). On price, rating, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ™ Checkers sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Checkers!! asks for nothing beyond the download.

™ Checkers holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ™ Checkers has 753 ratings behind it against 140, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Checkers!!'s written reviews are positive against 36% of ™ Checkers's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Checkers!! ships an update every 3 months, ™ Checkers every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
