Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Loop at 3.6 against Rihla's 3.0. Loop also leads on ratings volume (158 vs 2). Rihla's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 8%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Loop holds the better App Store score, 3.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Loop has 158 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 8% of Loop's written reviews are positive against 50% of Rihla's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Loop ships an update every 6 weeks, Rihla every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
