Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: TapTap at none against Loco's shown. TapTap also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (10K vs 349). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Loco sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and TapTap sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

TapTap holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TapTap has 10K ratings behind it against 349, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 44% of Loco's written reviews are positive against 52% of TapTap's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Loco ships an update fortnightly, TapTap every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
