Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Chroma Match at none against Twilight Time's shown. Chroma Match also leads on iOS requirement (6.1 vs 16.7.10). Twilight Time's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
