Overall, my point-
Both Chess.com and Lichess.org are excellent online chess platforms, but they cater to slightly different audiences and priorities. Lichess is a completely free, open-source platform that offers a clean, minimalist interface and lightning-fast performance. It provides advanced features such as in-depth analysis with Stockfish, opening explorer, studies for collaborative learning, and an unlimited number of puzzles—all without any cost or advertisements. Its commitment to openness, speed, and functionality makes it particularly appealing to serious players, trainers, and those who value a distraction-free experience. On the other hand, Chess.com offers a more polished, feature-rich environment with a wide range of resources including interactive lessons, articles, video content, themed bots, and an active social community. It has a massive user base, which results in very quick matchmaking and an active tournament scene, including participation from grandmasters and well-known streamers. However, many of its most valuable features, such as full game analysis, puzzle rush, and guided lessons, are locked behind a paywall, and the free version includes ads. Its mobile app is also more refined and user-friendly than Lichess’s, which can be a deciding factor for some. Ultimately, if you prioritize open access, speed, and serious study tools without any cost, Lichess is the better choice. If you’re looking for a broader, more social chess experience with gamified learning and don’t mind paying for extra features, Chess.com might be the better fit. Many players choose to use both platforms: Lichess for analysis and study, and Chess.com for casual play and community engagement.
The idea that any software ever provides a full and useful analysis of your game holds back most players.
.
Both sites use the same engine, but not always the same version. Lichess does more to update to the latest version. Neither site offers clear focus on the critical moments, but both offer resources for finding these if you do some of your own analysis.

The chessdotcom game analysis graph is easier to read than lichess, but I like the easy access to move times on lichess (something that was better on chessdotcom until they eliminated the summaries that contained useful data, including average move time relative to degree of error).

I prefer chess.com because, chess.com has more then just games and puzzles, you can create or join a club and many more.
Chess.com is greedy for money 🤑and lichess is for playing chess free
