# Cronometer vs Satt

The clearest difference is rating: Cronometer at 4.8 against Satt's 2.0. Cronometer also leads on ratings volume (100K vs 1) and chart position (#15 vs unranked). Satt's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). On price, review sentiment, 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 Satt sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Cronometer holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cronometer has 100K ratings behind it against 1, 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 67% of Satt's.

Cronometer ships an update weekly, Satt every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
