Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Circlify at none against Inversion's shown. Circlify also leads on ratings volume (23 vs 1) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 15.0). Inversion's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs monthly) and rating (4.0 vs 3.7). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
