This question is asked so many times. Lichess rating is above chess.com rating by 200 - 500 rating as long the information I have seen from members.

chess.com should be more accurate

ChessSBM

So to answer your question, nope they are not in the same level.

From what I have heard lichess ratings are about 400 rating points higher then chess.com ratings

My coach says, lichens is 300 pts too high and chess.com is 100 pts too low

Exactly. See some examples of different members rating in chess.com compared to Lichess:

lichess has way lesser players than chess.com so it wouldnt be too hard for you to climb up the ladder and get a high rating

JoshPrice

Lichess ratings vary from person to person compared to chess.com rating, but no, they won't be the same. 1600 rapid chess.com is more like 1800-1950 lichess. as you go higher in the rating ladder on lichess it becomes closer though

Payed chess.com is superior to lichess. It's a different formula (glicko 1 vs glicko 2). Lichess uses the better model (defined by how accurate it predicts results). In a nutshell Lichess will be higher until rating 2100 or so.

Yep, my friend was rated 1600 at Lichess while rated 900 on chess.com

A whole 400 rating difference I seen it myself got to 1300 on blitz on lichess but 700 here on chess.com

chess.com ratings are far harder to get, more so at the lower ratings, seems around 2400 they start to balance out. Lichess ratings seem harder at the very highest ratings, but this could be partly due to lack of competition. Someone rated 2700 on lichess will find it hard find opponents to significantly increase their rating with.
