Loop is the social network for meeting and matchmaking through friends, events, and communities. On Loop, everyone plays matchmaker for their single friends. Singles can also see who their friends know and ask for intros through the app, removing any social friction and making matchmaking easy. In addition to meeting through friends, people on Loop can meet and matchmake through groups centered around events, locations, professional matchmakers, and other communities. Loop groups for coffee shops, gyms, alumni networks, or parties can help maximize the odds that singles connect with someone who they could have met in real life. Loop is free to download and use. Sign up, indicate if you’re single or just there to set up friends, invite your friends, and start suggesting life changing matches! Our app uses Apple's standard EULA: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Loop at 4.6 against JWed's 2.0. Loop also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and review sentiment (37% vs 13%). JWed's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. JWed sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Loop sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $29.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Loop holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Loop has 1.1K ratings behind it against 57, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 13% of JWed's written reviews are positive against 37% of Loop's.
JWed ships an update fortnightly, Loop every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
