Both are free to download. Social Limits sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Kronus sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Kronus holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Social Limits has 68 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 77% of Social Limits's written reviews are positive against 100% of Kronus's.
Social Limits ships an update fortnightly, Kronus weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
