Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: NoteCircle at every 4 days against Weekly Planner's every 3 weeks. NoteCircle also leads on device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (16.6 vs 18.0). Weekly Planner's advantage is ratings volume (15K vs 1.2K). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Weekly Planner sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and NoteCircle sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
