Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Beads.io at none against Loop Train 3D's shown. Beads.io also leads on ratings volume (8.3K vs 101) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). Loop Train 3D's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.6). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model 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. Beads.io sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and Loop Train 3D sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Loop Train 3D holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Beads.io has 8.3K ratings behind it against 101, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 26% of Beads.io's written reviews are positive against 20% of Loop Train 3D's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Beads.io ships an update every 5 days, Loop Train 3D every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and July 4, 2026 respectively.
