Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Time Vault Tracking at none against Chrono Plus's shown. Time Vault Tracking also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 72%) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 14 months). Chrono Plus's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.4). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
