# Circle vs sn

The clearest difference is ads: sn at none against Circle's shown. sn also leads on review sentiment (59% vs 43%) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.0). Circle's advantage is ratings volume (5.5K vs 509). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

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

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.3 for Circle against 4.3 for sn. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Circle has 5.5K ratings behind it against 509, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 43% of Circle's written reviews are positive against 59% of sn's.

Circle ships an update every 2 months, sn every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
