Chip Away

Chip Away turns big goals into something you can do today: show up once, fill a dot, build a streak. Set a goal with a target or make it open-ended, then check in once a day. Each check-in fills a dot on your progress grid, so you see your consistency at a glance and your streak grow day by day. It is built to stay out of your way: a couple of taps to check in. Notifications are optional.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Chip Away at none against Chronicle's 1. Chip Away also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
