Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Games Keeper at 4.7 against Wrist Chess's 3.8. Games Keeper also leads on review sentiment (76% vs 50%) and ratings volume (466 vs 6). Wrist Chess's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 4 months). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
