# Loopy Pro vs Somnideck

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Loopy Pro at 987 against Somnideck's 11. Loopy Pro also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.6). Somnideck's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Loopy Pro sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Somnideck sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
