Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Border Chess at none against Chess Analyzer 24/7's 3. Border Chess also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs monthly). Chess Analyzer 24/7's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
