# Chrono Plus vs WorkTime

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.

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.

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.
