Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: WorkTime at none against Chrono Plus's shown. WorkTime also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 14 months) and ratings volume (4.7K vs 75). Chrono Plus's advantage is review sentiment (72% vs 59%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Chrono Plus sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and WorkTime sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

WorkTime holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WorkTime has 4.7K ratings behind it against 75, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Chrono Plus's written reviews are positive against 59% of WorkTime's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Chrono Plus ships an update every 14 months, WorkTime every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on August 18, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
