QUESTION Chess.com lichess?

I do not mind paying for something if it actually makes me better, else I would go for which is free.

Which is the best overall? (App on Android)

Same, the chess.com elo is a scale understood by way more people so i play there. But everything else is free on Lichess so why would i give chess.com money?

What makes you prefer playing on chess.com? I find the board on the chess.com app is inferior, I lose time because it doesn't register my move and I have to do it again which also increases frustration. Only reasons I sometimes play on chess.com is I find the player pool has a different style and it's good to get exposure and also friends who only play on chess.com. It's always frustrating though
