# LEGENDS vs Plain Chess

The clearest difference is ads: Plain Chess at none against LEGENDS's shown. Plain Chess also leads on ratings volume (11 vs 1). LEGENDS's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs paid). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LEGENDS sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Plain Chess sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

LEGENDS holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Plain Chess has 11 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
