Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Ride Circuit at 4.9 against Coronado Ferry's 4.0. Ride Circuit also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 months). Coronado Ferry's advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 52%) and iOS requirement (11.4 vs 16.0). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Coronado Ferry sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Ride Circuit asks for nothing beyond the download.
Ride Circuit holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ride Circuit has 19K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 52% of Ride Circuit's written reviews are positive against 67% of Coronado Ferry's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Ride Circuit ships an update every 3 weeks, Coronado Ferry every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
