Bubble Level + Compass combines a bubble level and a compass, with advanced controls for users who want more than the basics. Use it to check horizontal/vertical/surface angles, or get compass direction relative to either true or magnetic north. For users who work with physical compasses, magnetic declination is also provided to convert magnetic readings to true north readings. The level includes gyroscope calibration, which is especially useful on phones with a raised camera bump or an uneven back/case. No nagging popups or interruptions. The free version only includes a small banner ad at the bottom. Features • Bullseye level plus horizontal and vertical levels with 0.1 degree precision. • Compass with true north and magnetic north. • Magnetic declination display for converting magnetic readings to true north readings. • Gyroscope calibration for phones that do not rest perfectly flat. • Gyro or accelerometer sensor mode. • Clean interface with no popup interruptions. If you enjoy the app, leaving a review would help. An ad-free Pro version is also available, with more features including Apple Watch support, night mode, slope/inclination %, and pitch, yaw, and roll rotation rate.
Surface Level
This utility app functions as a digital bubble level, allowing users to measure horizontal, vertical, and flat surfaces with 360-degree precision. It includes calibration features and a digital compass for outdoor use.
- Horizontal, vertical, and flat surface measurement
- 360-degree level precision
- Surface calibration
- Digital compass
- Easy to use interface

The Surface Level: Bubble Level app is simple and easy to use with your device. A bubble level is mostly used in the constructor, carpentry, and photography to determine whether the object is surface level or not. you can use it for personal uses like checking your desk table and the surface level of every object. Measure Level horizontal, vertical, and flat surface for a 360 level. This level of tool precision depends on the quality of the accelerometer sensor and the correct calibration. Use Horizontal, Vertical and flat surface tools separately. Calibration: - You can calibrate surfaces with any flat surface or any angle. - Calibrate will set new “zero” and data shown after calibration will be relative to that position. - Tap reset to remove calibre and reset identical surface. Compass: - A digital compass is a great tool for outdoor uses. It gives N (North) direction. - Without an accelerator sensor, a digital compass will not work.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Bubble Level + Compass at 5.0 against Surface Level's 1.0. Bubble Level + Compass also leads on ratings volume (34 vs 1). Surface Level's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
