Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Arimaa Puzzles at none against Quick Chess's shown. Arimaa Puzzles also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Quick Chess's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 21 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
