Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: MLI Plus at none against TheCircle's shown. MLI Plus also leads on iOS requirement (11.2 vs 13.0). TheCircle's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 15 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
