# Loop ON vs Quantiloop

The clearest difference is rating: Loop ON at 4.4 against Quantiloop's 3.0. Loop ON also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (986 vs 38). Quantiloop's advantage is review sentiment (56% vs 36%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Loop ON sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Quantiloop sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Loop ON holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Loop ON has 986 ratings behind it against 38, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 36% of Loop ON'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.

Loop ON ships an update every 3 weeks, Quantiloop every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
