Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: CelestialChess at none against Chinese Chess 3D Online's shown. CelestialChess also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 16 months). Chinese Chess 3D Online's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
