I would get it because there is a cool feature called puzzle rush,where we play puzzles until we get 3 of them wrong.You should try it out!
Apart from Puzzle Rush, are there any other reasons to buy Chess.com premium?

FAQ – Frequently asked questions
Below is a list of frequently asked questions. These are questions that I found on various chess forums – and I included especially questions that have not been answered properly by other websites online.
Are there other chess platforms to consider?
Magnus Carlsen, the best chess player in the world, has launched a platform called Chess24.com. I’ve registered myself on that website (so you don’t have to).
To be honest, it’s just a copy of chess.com. What annoyed me most about Chess24 is their eager effort to make you pay for their premium subscription service. I’ve never gotten so many “aggressive” sales emails from any company ever before.
Thumbs down. My advice is to stick with either Lichess org Chess.com.
Can chess.com be used for free?
Absolutely. You don’t have to buy a premium to play games against other people or people you know.
You can even download the Chess.com app on your phone if you want. That’s also for free.
Why do most grandmasters and famous chess players play on Chess.com?
As mentioned before, Chess.com is a platform that earns a lot of money. They spend some of that money on paying grandmasters to play on their platform.
I can’t even think of how many players that people like Chessbrah and Hikaru Nakamura have recruited to their platform.
Lichess is a 100 % free platform – and can’t pay anyone to promote their channel.
I don’t want to pay, but I want to analyze my games – which platform to choose?
Lichess. 100 % lichess.
The fact that Lichess allows you to analyze all of your games with Stockfish is brilliant. That’s why broke/poor people that want to improve their game often start with Lichess – and then they might move on to Chess.com premium if they want to play Puzzle Rush.
Why are there so many “mean players” and “trolls” on chess.com?
Because that’s the first website people will go to when they start to play online chess. Young and immature players will appear sometimes on chess.com.
There are many ways they can annoy you. Writing bad words is one of them. Another way is to wait out their game instead of moving a piece – hoping that you might forfeit the game before the time runs out.
I have seen less of this type of behavior on Lichess.
