Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: IRONMAN Tracker at none against ChronoRace's 2. IRONMAN Tracker also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.0). ChronoRace's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
