Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: MonthDay at 5.0 against Chronomizer's 3.7. MonthDay also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). Chronomizer's advantage is update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (33 vs 1). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
