Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: New Chessnut at none against Chessity's 4. New Chessnut also leads on rating (3.3 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (36 vs 2). Chessity's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
