DCircuit Lab is a tool to simulate combinatorial and sequential digital circuits. Circuits can be simulated in two ways: 1) one single step: all the outputs values are evaluated at the same time 2) step by step: outputs and gates are evaluated one step a time If circuit contains clock inputs, its simulation is dynamic. This means that outputs change accordingly to the clocks. During this dynamic simulation, user can change inputs values to study the circuit behavior which is also provided via a timing chart. Circuits are built using basic components, gates and flip-flops: * inputs (three state: 1, 0, X - undefined) * outputs * wires * NOT, AND, NAND, OR, NOR, XOR gates with any number of inputs * Flip-flop RS, JK, T, D (Positive or Negative Edge Triggered and with Set and Reset Inputs) * Multiplexers with any number of inputs * Demultiplexers with any number of outputs * Fully configurable Clocks * Custom Components defined by their truth table * BCD to 7 Segments Display Decoder * 7 Segments Display Some video tutorials are available directly from the application to learn how to use it.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: DCircuit Lab at 3.0 against ABeam Pro's 1.0. DCircuit Lab also leads on ratings volume (3 vs 1) and price ($3.99 vs $4.99). ABeam Pro's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 10 months). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
DCircuit Lab costs $3.99 and ABeam Pro $4.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
DCircuit Lab holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 1.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 3 and 1 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 11% of DCircuit Lab's written reviews are positive against 14% of ABeam Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
DCircuit Lab ships an update every 10 months, ABeam Pro every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
