# Cronometer vs Firstbelle

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Firstbelle at none against Cronometer's 18. Firstbelle also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.5). Cronometer's advantage is chart position (#19 vs unranked). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cronometer sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $10.99 per month. Firstbelle asks for nothing beyond the download.
