Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: The Loop at none against Rise Rewards's shown. The Loop also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). Rise Rewards's advantage is iOS requirement (12.4 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and in-app purchases 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
The Loop holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1.3K and 934 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of The Loop's written reviews are positive against 52% of Rise Rewards's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
The Loop ships an update every 2 months, Rise Rewards every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
