# Chess Pro Trainer™ vs Gambit/chess

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Gambit/chess at none against Chess Pro Trainer™'s 5. Chess Pro Trainer™'s advantage is ratings volume (12 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
