Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Circle 1 at none against Circle's 5. Circle 1 also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 2 months). Circle's advantage is review sentiment (43% vs 20%) and ratings volume (5.5K vs 96). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.3 for Circle against 4.2 for Circle 1.

Written reviews are what separate them: 43% of Circle's written reviews are positive against 20% of Circle 1's.
