# Loop Buddy vs CueMusic

The clearest difference is rating: CueMusic at 3.3 against Loop Buddy's 1.8. Loop Buddy's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and review sentiment (33% vs 0%). On price, ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CueMusic sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Loop Buddy asks for nothing beyond the download.

CueMusic holds the better App Store score, 3.3 against 1.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 6 and 4 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Loop Buddy's written reviews are positive against 0% of CueMusic's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
