Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Chrono at none against Continuo's 3. Chrono also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 80%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Continuo's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (278 vs 1). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
