Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Cirkus at none against Units's 3. Cirkus also leads on review sentiment (73% vs 45%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). Units's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (262 vs 20). On price, ads, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Units sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Cirkus asks for nothing beyond the download.
Units holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Units has 262 ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Cirkus's written reviews are positive against 45% of Units's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Cirkus ships an update fortnightly, Units every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
