Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Chess ◧ at none against Chess Plus's shown. Chess ◧ also leads on ratings volume (410 vs 27) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). Chess Plus's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 12 months) and review sentiment (75% vs 53%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Chess ◧ sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Chess Plus sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Chess Plus holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Chess ◧ has 410 ratings behind it against 27, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 53% of Chess ◧'s written reviews are positive against 75% of Chess Plus's.
Chess ◧ ships an update every 12 months, Chess Plus every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
