Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Circle Communities at fortnightly against ILTA's every 14 months. Circle Communities also leads on ratings volume (86K vs 1) and chart position (#81 vs unranked). ILTA's advantage is monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.5). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
