# Chess!! vs Real Go Board

The clearest difference is rating: Real Go Board at 4.5 against Chess!!'s 4.0. Real Go Board also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Chess!!'s advantage is ratings volume (60 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
