Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Chrono holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 4 and 8 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of World Time Widget's written reviews are positive against 38% of Chrono's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
