Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: XME LOOPS at none against Praise's shown. XME LOOPS also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 11 months) and chart position (#110 vs unranked). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. XME LOOPS sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Praise sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
XME LOOPS holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: XME LOOPS has 5K ratings behind it against 656, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 86% of XME LOOPS's written reviews are positive against 75% of Praise's.
XME LOOPS ships an update every 3 weeks, Praise every 11 months. Both last shipped on November 2, 2026.
