Both are free to download. Chrono Plus sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Timemator sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Timemator holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 75 and 169 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Chrono Plus's written reviews are positive against 63% of Timemator'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, Timemator every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on August 18, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
