Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Circle Survival at none against Match Five's 3. Circle Survival also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). Match Five's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 19 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
