# ZBM vs Looper!

The clearest difference is rating: Looper! at 4.7 against ZBM's 3.7. Looper! also leads on monetization model (freemium vs subscription) and ratings volume (308K vs 3). ZBM's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (62% vs 29%). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ZBM sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and Looper! sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $5.49 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Looper! holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Looper! has 308K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of ZBM's written reviews are positive against 29% of Looper!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

ZBM ships an update fortnightly, Looper! every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
