# Sync³ Remote vs Loopy Pro

The clearest difference is update cadence: Loopy Pro at every 2 weeks against Sync³ Remote's every 31 months. Loopy Pro also leads on ratings volume (952 vs 2) and device support (3 vs 1). Sync³ Remote's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sync³ Remote sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Loopy Pro sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Sync³ Remote holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Loopy Pro has 952 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Sync³ Remote's written reviews are positive against 95% of Loopy Pro's.

Sync³ Remote ships an update every 31 months, Loopy Pro every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
