Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Chess Pro with Coach at 88% against Эpудит's 51%. Chess Pro with Coach also leads on ratings volume (2K vs 2) and update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks). Эpудит's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Эpудит holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Chess Pro with Coach has 2K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 51% of Эpудит's written reviews are positive against 88% of Chess Pro with Coach's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Эpудит ships an update every 5 weeks, Chess Pro with Coach weekly. Both last shipped on October 26, 2026.
