Pan costs $3.99 and Chronescher $3.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Pan holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pan has 20 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of Pan's written reviews are positive against 75% of Chronescher's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Pan ships an update every 2 days, Chronescher every 18 months. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
