# SPOTLED vs 3D Circle

The clearest difference is rating: 3D Circle at 3.0 against SPOTLED's 2.7. SPOTLED's advantage is ratings volume (160 vs 3) and review sentiment (45% vs 25%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

3D Circle holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SPOTLED has 160 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of SPOTLED's written reviews are positive against 25% of 3D Circle's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

SPOTLED ships an update monthly, 3D Circle every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on September 21, 2026.
