Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: HERE PASSPORT at none against Sircles's 4. Sircles's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (926 vs 31). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support 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. Sircles sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. HERE PASSPORT asks for nothing beyond the download.
Sircles holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sircles has 926 ratings behind it against 31, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of Sircles's written reviews are positive against 83% of HERE PASSPORT's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Sircles ships an update every 9 days, HERE PASSPORT every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
