# Circle vs Yellow

The clearest difference is rating: Circle at 4.3 against Yellow's 3.6. Circle also leads on ratings volume (5.5K vs 45). Yellow's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (56% vs 43%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Circle sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Yellow 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 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Circle has 5.5K ratings behind it against 45, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of Circle's written reviews are positive against 56% of Yellow'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, Yellow weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
