Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Chess Next Move sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Chessigma sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $14.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Chessigma holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Chessigma has 54 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
