lichess because:
1. Ads,I'm a kid and don't have money and chess.com just want to gan money and that really stinks because I offen get distracted.
2. Lag,I mean it is not chess.com fault but it always lags cause to many player
3. cheating,chess.com has a lot of cheating because they just lazy and don't band them self's
4. You need to pay money,like why I want to do puzzles and I can't because I need to pay money
@stanleythesmartkid it is chess.com issue. I have great connect and always get 4 green bars. In bullets I get dropped every other game it seems, also the type of disconnect where they cant' even detect that connection was dropped and you just sit there for 5 minutes guessing is it you or opponent. That is definitely on chess.com
I played on Lichess today. I don’t know why they threw me into the cheater pool. My games are honest. My opponents, OTOH, …
lichess is technically far better than chess.com, but chess.com is far more live: people here actively chat, post in forums etc unlike lichess where you feel like you are in the middle of some graveyard
lichess is better since the puzzle themes page is great
lichess is better since the puzzle themes page is great
See chessdotcom’s themes: https://www.chess.com/puzzles/learning
Even so, Lichess offers a greater variety of themes, such as tactics in specific openings.
Lichess is better just because it has a separate rating category for classical time control.
Chess.com is 1000 times better than lichess.They have better lessons.In lichess,we do all moves at once.Chess.com is clearly better. Plus we can create clubs in chess.com . Do you know taht I am the owner of nine clubs in chess.com? This is why chess.com is better.
During COVID, my local chess club continued meeting at our regular time in a club that I created on Lichess.
We have a club, here, too.

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 or free users. 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, and event/collabs. While chess.com is a free website, you have to pay for some features.
Chess.com also has variants (a point which I forgot to add that some people pointed out) such as 4-player chess, Bughouse, And Crazyhouse. I also find Chess.com has a better rating system than Lichess. 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 Because different people like different stuff. Note that I personally prefer Chess.com because a lot of my friends are here and I like the UI of Chess.com better.
Chess.com and Lichess are both popular online chess platforms, but they cater to different needs and preferences. Chess.com is a commercial site with a large player base and a wide range of features, some of which require a paid subscription. Lichess.org is a free, open-source platform that offers a comprehensive set of features without any cost.
But I like lichess😀
