# AdoptaShadchan vs Loop

AdoptaShadchan and Loop both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of AdoptaShadchan's written reviews are positive against 37% of Loop's. AdoptaShadchan also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). Loop's advantage is ratings volume (1K vs 7) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 6 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AdoptaShadchan sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $40.99 per month and Loop sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $29.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for AdoptaShadchan against 4.6 for Loop. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Loop has 1K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 100% of AdoptaShadchan's written reviews are positive against 37% of Loop's.

AdoptaShadchan ships an update every 6 months, Loop every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
