# Chrono Plus vs Timemator

The clearest difference is rating: Timemator at 4.7 against Chrono Plus's 4.1. Timemator also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 14 months). Chrono Plus's advantage is review sentiment (72% vs 63%). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

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.
