Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: circusAR at 5.0 against 서울자전거 따릉이's 3.0. circusAR also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). 서울자전거 따릉이's advantage is ratings volume (102 vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads 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
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
circusAR holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 서울자전거 따릉이 has 102 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of circusAR's written reviews are positive against 38% of 서울자전거 따릉이's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
circusAR ships an update monthly, 서울자전거 따릉이 every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
