Chin ups are easier. Pull ups are technically better as work the back more, but consequently are much harder to do.

Personally prefer chin ups as can do more, therefore getting a better workout... my pull-ups are so pitiful that i can't actually get a decent workout doing them.
Chin ups are certainly easier - I guess pull ups are "better" as they are harder, but if either exercise is done to failure surely the benefits are much the same, but just targeting different muscles.

I remember one morning before Broga - pre Covid - I did 5 pull ups then 9 chin ups - my record. It does show their relative difficulty.
