# Loop ON vs Reverse Audio

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Reverse Audio at 87% against Loop ON's 36%. Reverse Audio also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (38K vs 986). Loop ON's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Loop ON sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Reverse Audio sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Reverse Audio holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4.
