Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BoxBoxd at none against Chequered's 2. BoxBoxd also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.2). Chequered's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, rating, review sentiment and ratings volume there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Chequered sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.49 per month. BoxBoxd asks for nothing beyond the download.
Chequered holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 11 and 10 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of BoxBoxd's written reviews are positive against 86% of Chequered's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
BoxBoxd ships an update every 6 weeks, Chequered every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
