Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Loop at 4.6 against JWed's 2.1. Loop also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and review sentiment (38% vs 13%). JWed's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
