Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Chess Twist at 5.0 against Plug & Play's 4.1. Chess Twist also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 7 months). Plug & Play's advantage is ratings volume (546 vs 1) and price ($3.99 vs $6.99). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
