Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Chess Peace at every 2 weeks against Deduce's every 8 months. Chess Peace also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (133 vs 2). Deduce's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 89%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
