Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: The Loop at none against Foxtail Coffee's shown. The Loop also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Foxtail Coffee's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (7.7K vs 1.3K). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
