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.

What is Spirit Level? The spirit level, which is used to calculate the correct plane both vertically and horizontally, is brought to the area specified within the scale lines and serves to measure the accuracy of the plane. A spirit level, spirit level, or simply scale is an instrument designed to indicate whether a surface is horizontal or vertical. The Spirit Level app is a useful, precise, easy to use and incredibly useful tool for iOS devices. A conventional level meter has a slightly curved glass tube that is not completely filled with liquid. It usually consists of colored spirit or alcohol with bubbles in the tube. On gentle slopes the bubble moves away from the usually marked center point. The Spirit Level app attempts to emulate a real level meter and displays the data as a real level meter would. The Spirit Level app also features a bulls-eye level meter, a flat-bottomed circular device with liquid on the surface of a convex glass with a circle at its center. This serves to verify on a plane that tubular scales only do in the direction of the tube. The Spirit Level app attempts to emulate a real bull's-eye level meter and displays the data as a real bulls-eye level meter would. Where can you use the Spirit Level? A spirit level is often used in construction, woodwork and photography to verify that the object you are working on is level. When used properly, a spirit level can help you create perfectly neat furniture, hang pictures or objects on the wall, properly position a pool table, tennis table, properly position a tripod for photographs, and more. It is a must-have device for any home or apartment. In general, it helps us to understand whether the surface is parallel to the ground in works such as construction, construction and carpentry. The measurement ability of the spirit level, which is based on the principle of the same water level in the combined containers in physics, has made it usable in many areas as a balance tool and balance scale. This method used by the Spirit Level has been used throughout history to balance water channels. The flow and intensity of the water are balanced with the pipes created to make the incoming water safe by reducing the pressure. Thus, the water is fixed at the desired intensity and it is ensured to be used more easily and safely. Using the same laws of physics, spirit levels measure the surface and are compatible with almost every tool we use today.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Spirit Level at none against Bubble Level + Compass's shown. Spirit Level also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 12.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
