Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Prisms at Free against Circuitous's $1.99. Prisms also leads on ratings volume (19 vs 2) and update cadence (every 17 months vs every 35 months). Circuitous's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and review sentiment (100% vs 89%). On rating, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
