Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Card Chess at Free against HexBoard's $0.99. Card Chess also leads on iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). HexBoard's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and chart position (#140 vs unranked). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
