# Music Looper vs Quantiloop

The clearest difference is rating: Music Looper at 4.3 against Quantiloop's 3.0. Music Looper also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (767 vs 38). Quantiloop's advantage is review sentiment (56% vs 29%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Music Looper sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Quantiloop sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Music Looper holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Music Looper has 767 ratings behind it against 38, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of Music Looper's written reviews are positive against 56% of Quantiloop's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Music Looper ships an update every 3 days, Quantiloop every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
