Abstract The Higgs boson can be produced directly in gamma-gamma collisions generated by laser Compton back scattering off 80-90 GeV electron or positron beams. We discuss options for realizing a gamma-gamma Higgs factory using a high-energy circular e⁺e⁻ collider, such as FCC-ee or CEPC, and/or its top-up injector ring, and compare the parameters and advantages of such a facility, including the expected performance, with those for a Higgs factory based on a recirculating linac, such as SAPPHiRE.
