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.

Free Alternatives to Chess.com Game Review

Chess.com's Game Review is good, but the full version is part of its paid plans. If you want to review every game without paying, here are the honest options.

1. Lichess computer analysis

Free and unlimited. Import any game (including Chess.com games) and run Stockfish on it. You get an evaluation graph and the engine's best moves. It doesn't explain mistakes in words, and it doesn't connect your games together.

2. ChessScout

Link your Chess.com or Lichess username and your games come in automatically. Every game can be reviewed free with Stockfish: each move labelled from best to blunder, the key moments marked, and what to play instead. Your reviewed games also feed a basic analysis of what you get wrong most often.

Pro ($5/month) adds AI coach explanations in plain words, deep weakness analysis and patterns across all your games.

3. A desktop engine

Programs like the free Stockfish app or a chess GUI let you analyze games offline. It's powerful but takes the most work: you load each game yourself and interpret the numbers.

Which one should you use?

Just want the engine lines: Lichess analysis.
Want your games reviewed automatically, with your mistakes connected to training: ChessScout.
Want everything offline: a desktop engine.

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.
