How is this different from Chess.com game review?

Chess.com reviews one game at a time. ChessScout looks across all your games to find the mistake you keep making — not just what happened in this one.

What does the free tier include?

Unlimited game import and Stockfish review, unlimited opponent scouts (record, openings and head-to-head), unlimited puzzles, weaknesses from your reviewed games, unlimited practice bots, Opening Trainer and Local Play, live games and tournaments, plus the Beginner Path and Chess for Kids — no card required. Pro ($5/month) adds the AI coach, AI scouting reports, personalized courses, Scan Position and AI puzzle explanations.

Will I understand the analysis at my level?

Yes. Explanations are written in plain language, not engine notation — built for players working on real improvement, not just engine output.

Does it work with Lichess?

Yes, both Chess.com and Lichess are supported.

Is there an Android app?

Yes. ChessScout is on Google Play, and it also works in any browser at chessscout.net.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes, cancel anytime from your account settings — no phone call, no retention flow.

The Best Free Chess Apps to Actually Improve (Not Just Play)

Playing more doesn't make you better on its own; reviewing and training does. Here are free apps that help you improve, and what each is best at.

Lichess

Completely free and open source. Unlimited games, puzzles, studies and computer analysis. Best for: players who want everything free and don't mind doing their own analysis.

Chess.com

The biggest player base, lessons, puzzles and a polished game review. The free plan limits some features, including full game reviews. Best for: finding opponents at any time.

ChessScout

Built around improvement: it imports your games from Chess.com and Lichess, reviews them with Stockfish for free, and connects your mistakes to training (tactics, openings, endgames). Free also includes unlimited puzzles, opponent scouting stats, practice bots, an opening trainer and tournaments. Pro ($5/month) adds AI coach explanations, deep weakness analysis and personalized courses. Best for: players who already play on Chess.com or Lichess and want to know what to fix.

How to combine them

Play where your friends are (Chess.com or Lichess), then review those same games and train your weak spots on ChessScout. Twenty minutes of review and training a day beats an hour of extra blitz.

What's free on ChessScout and what's Pro

Free: single-game review with Stockfish, basic analysis of your reviewed games, unlimited puzzles, practice bots and the opening trainer, live and daily games, opponent scouting with unlimited stats, and creating tournaments.
Pro ($5/month): AI coach explanations and game summaries, deep weakness analysis, patterns across all your games, personalized courses, scanning a position from a photo, and AI prep against a specific opponent.
