Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: 3D Score Buddy at 5.0 against ArrowTime Chrono's 4.1. 3D Score Buddy also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 73%) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). ArrowTime Chrono's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (15 vs 3). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
