chess .com vs lichess

Lichess is better if you don't want to pay for the good stuff

Tl;dr

Lichess for playing chess. Chess.com for social

Long answer

Take what I have said about Lichess with a grain of salt. I don't have a lichess account but guessing from what i have played as a guest on lichess i think it is better for games. But on the other hand, Chess.com is better for socializing because of the larger playerbase and the various options to interact with other people like forums, clubs, etc. and event/collabs. When I play on Chess.com my computer which is kinda old ( from 2018 ) sounds like a jet engine. But when i play on lichess I have no such issue. I am not going to talk about the ui or the pieces bc different people like different stuff.
