# Chrono vs Time Zone Clock

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Chrono at none against Time Zone Clock's 9. Chrono also leads on iOS requirement (12.1 vs 18.2). Time Zone Clock's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 8 months) and rating (4.4 vs 4.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Time Zone Clock sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Chrono asks for nothing beyond the download.

Time Zone Clock holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Time Zone Clock has 253 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 45% of Chrono's written reviews are positive against 57% of Time Zone Clock's.

Chrono ships an update every 8 months, Time Zone Clock every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on June 4, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
