Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Tower Stack at 100% against Circle's 43%. Tower Stack also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 5) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 months). Circle's advantage is ratings volume (5.5K vs 1) and rating (4.3 vs 4.0). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Circle holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Circle has 5.5K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of Circle's written reviews are positive against 100% of Tower Stack's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Circle ships an update every 2 months, Tower Stack every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
