# Circle vs Spinny Fidget

The clearest difference is ads: Spinny Fidget at none against Circle's shown. Spinny Fidget also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (59% vs 43%). Circle's advantage is ratings volume (5.5K vs 140) and rating (4.3 vs 4.1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Circle sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Spinny Fidget sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Circle holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Circle has 5.5K ratings behind it against 140, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of Circle's written reviews are positive against 59% of Spinny Fidget's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Circle ships an update every 2 months, Spinny Fidget every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
