Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: CirclePay at none against GroupCollect's 4. CirclePay also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly). GroupCollect's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.4). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
