Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Circuit Navigator at none against Panel Snap's 6. Circuit Navigator also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17). Panel Snap's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 5 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
