Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: CircleRecs at 100% against Deutscher Hotelführer's 50%. CircleRecs also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 28 months). Deutscher Hotelführer's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
