Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Circle Communities at fortnightly against IATA Connect's every 5 months. Circle Communities also leads on chart position (#74 vs unranked). IATA Connect's advantage is iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
