Here's the timelapse application designed for live performances (painting, graffiti, editing, collage...). Street artists and others who want to create a live timelapse can use this application. While recording your performance, this application creates a timelapse loop that continuously enriches itself with new photos taken by the iPhone. Anyone, at any time, can therefore see a timelapse of your ongoing performance in just a few minutes.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Challenger at none against Loop's 1. Loop's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (11.2 vs 15.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
