Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Chromatic at none against ByteCube's shown. Chromatic also leads on ratings volume (5 vs 1). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Chromatic sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and ByteCube sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Chromatic against 5.0 for ByteCube. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Chromatic has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
