Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Chrony at 5.0 against PlanSense's 4.5. Chrony also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 3 days) and review sentiment (100% vs 92%). PlanSense's advantage is ratings volume (17 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Chrony holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PlanSense has 17 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 92% of PlanSense's written reviews are positive against 100% of Chrony's.
PlanSense ships an update every 3 days, Chrony daily. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
