Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ActsSocial at 4.7 against YiCircle's 4.3. ActsSocial also leads on ratings volume (209 vs 6) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.0). YiCircle's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 90%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
ActsSocial holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ActsSocial has 209 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 90% of ActsSocial's written reviews are positive against 100% of YiCircle's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
ActsSocial ships an update weekly, YiCircle every 4 days. Both last shipped on October 25, 2026.
