Verdict

The call

Instabot and Loom both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Instabot's written reviews are positive against 42% of Loom's. Instabot also leads on monetization model (free vs freemium) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.5). Loom's advantage is ratings volume (19K vs 7) and update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
