11 and 12 speed chains are recommended to be swap at .75. That said it the drivetrain works you may cause yourself more issues $$ by putting a new chain on a worn cassette and chainring. You can buy a new chain but if it skips or doesn’t sit well in the chainring put the old one back on a ride until you are ready to change everything.

A park tool cc 3.2 measures .5 and. 75 and costs about $12.
Larger chains can go a little longer but 12s chains are recommended to be replaced at .5 and recommend replacing the cassette if you are reaching. 75
