# Loop ON vs One Loop

The clearest difference is rating: Loop ON at 4.4 against One Loop's 3.9. Loop ON also leads on ratings volume (988 vs 19). One Loop's advantage is review sentiment (60% vs 36%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Loop ON sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and One Loop sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Loop ON holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Loop ON has 988 ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 36% of Loop ON's written reviews are positive against 60% of One Loop'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, One Loop every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
