Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Loopy Pro at 4.8 against SoundBoard Pro Studio's 4.0. Loopy Pro also leads on ratings volume (988 vs 4) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). SoundBoard Pro Studio's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
