Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Swipe Escape at none against Circle's 5. Swipe Escape also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). Circle's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
