Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: ChessDate at 80% against Connected2.me's 23%. ChessDate also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 12) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). Connected2.me's advantage is ratings volume (31K vs 12) and chart position (#132 vs unranked). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
