Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: HOUSE at 88% against Looperverse's 45%. HOUSE also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.2) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks). Looperverse's advantage is iOS requirement (8.0 vs 11.0). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
