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. Alora sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and Chronicle Cloud sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 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 — 4.7 for Alora against 4.6 for Chronicle Cloud. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Alora has 2K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 63% of Alora's written reviews are positive against 71% of Chronicle Cloud's.
Alora ships an update monthly, Chronicle Cloud every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
