# Cronometer vs Moses Method

The clearest difference is ads: Moses Method at none against Cronometer's shown. Moses Method also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 69%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Cronometer's advantage is ratings volume (101K vs 3) and chart position (#15 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cronometer sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $10.99 per month and Moses Method sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $29.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Moses Method holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cronometer has 101K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 69% of Cronometer's written reviews are positive against 100% of Moses Method's.

Cronometer ships an update weekly, Moses Method fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
