Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: 3D Circle at 3.0 against HC's 1.4. 3D Circle also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (25% vs 13%). HC's advantage is ratings volume (16 vs 3) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

HC ships an update every 2 months, 3D Circle every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
