Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Time at 5.0 against Chronomizer's 3.4. Time 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 2 months) and ratings volume (30 vs 3). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
