Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Deep Blue at Free against Tiny Circles's $0.99. Deep Blue also leads on rating (4.4 vs 3.3) and update cadence (every 16 months vs every 38 months). Tiny Circles's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On ratings volume, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
