Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Wacky Jelly at none against Circadia's 1. Wacky Jelly also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). Circadia's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.5). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
