# Tiled vs AR Chess+

The clearest difference is rating: Tiled at 4.4 against AR Chess+'s 1.0. Tiled also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (16 vs 1). AR Chess+'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tiled sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. AR Chess+ asks for nothing beyond the download.

Tiled holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tiled has 16 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Tiled ships an update every 3 weeks, AR Chess+ every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on August 22, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
