# JWed vs Loop

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.

Both are free to download. JWed sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Loop sells 13 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 2.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Loop has 988 ratings behind it against 55, 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 38% of Loop's.

JWed ships an update every 2 weeks, Loop every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
