# TimeAlign vs Chrony

The clearest difference is rating: Chrony at 5.0 against TimeAlign's 4.1. Chrony also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 10 days) and review sentiment (100% vs 71%). TimeAlign's advantage is ratings volume (26 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TimeAlign sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Chrony sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Chrony holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TimeAlign has 26 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
