# Looper! vs String Art

The clearest difference is update cadence: String Art at every 2 weeks against Looper!'s every 3 months. Looper!'s advantage is ratings volume (308K vs 26K) and chart position (#80 vs unranked). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Looper! sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $5.49 per 7 days and String Art sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Looper! against 4.6 for String Art. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Looper! has 308K ratings behind it against 26K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 29% of Looper!'s written reviews are positive against 37% of String Art's.

Looper! ships an update every 3 months, String Art every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on September 25, 2026.
