Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Chrona at Free against Counter's $0.99. Chrona also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 3 months). Counter's advantage is chart position (#199 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
