CircuitWalk

CircuitWalk helps you build a clear record of your home's electrical panels and breaker circuits. Add rooms and devices, choose a breaker, and record what changed during a guided breaker walk. Review the result before saving device-to-breaker mappings. CircuitWalk also supports multiple panels, subpanels, copied panel labels, manual assignments, and mappings that need review after related information changes. Your CircuitWalk records stay in the app's local container on your iPhone. No account or app-managed cloud sync is required. CircuitWalk is an observation notebook. It does not measure electricity, detect faults, verify that power is off, confirm code compliance, or make electrical work safe. Keep electrical equipment closed and contact a licensed electrician for inspection, diagnosis, or repair.

Verdict
The clearest difference is device support: PiFi at 3 against CircuitWalk's 1. PiFi also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
