Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ChessHut at none against Cross or Die's 1. ChessHut also leads on ads (none vs shown). Cross or Die's advantage is update cadence (every 7 months vs every 15 months) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 17.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
