Built for Live performance and hands free use, Quantiloop recreates the simplicity of a hardware loop pedal in an iOS app. Attach a MIDI foot controller and control it the way you want. No MIDI controller at hand; just preset your loop length, enable auto–record or a count–in and your loops will automatically close, no hands or feet required. Big onscreen controls allow for easy configuration and tactile control by vocalists or beat boxers. Focus on your performance instead of fiddling with dip switches or complex menu’s. Be Creative Create 4 tracks with endless layers of overdubs to build your performance. Record a Chorus, Verse and Bridge and switch between them seamlessly or create a 1 bar percussie loop on track one, a 4 bar chord progression on track two and layer a bass line on top, all in perfect synchronisation. Rhythm Guide The builtin rhythm guide provides a rhythmic backing. Use the internal metronome for practice, import drum loops from virtually anywhere or host and control your favourite rhythm apps to enhance your performance. MIDI master lets you control MIDI hardware, and MIDI slave lets Quantiloop follow it. Ableton Link lets you even play in time over WiFi with external apps and devices. Quantisation aligns your actions to the nearest measure or beat so you stay in time, and real-time tempo control sets the pace. Prefer setting your own pace, disable quantisation and Quantiloop will react to your actions with minimum latency to create tight synchronised recordings. FX Assign up to 3 simultaneous effects to the input. Use the built-in transpose to covert your guitar into a bass, or host your guitar amp sim directly in Quantiloop. The results will be recorded into your loops. Or assign up to 3 simultaneous track effects to the output. Use the tape stop to add drama, introduce a key change to build up your performance, or host an Inter-App audio/AU reverb processor. Track FX may be assigned to a single track, all tracks or the combined output.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: LYTIX at 4.0 against Quantiloop's 3.0. LYTIX also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2). Quantiloop's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 13 months). On price and review sentiment 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. Quantiloop sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. LYTIX asks for nothing beyond the download.
LYTIX holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Quantiloop has 38 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of Quantiloop's written reviews are positive against 50% of LYTIX's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Quantiloop ships an update every 3 months, LYTIX every 13 months. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
