Loop Markets and The Party Button both sit at 3.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of The Party Button's written reviews are positive against 31% of Loop Markets's. The Party Button also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). Loop Markets's advantage is ratings volume (94 vs 3) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16).
