# Loop vs Sound Timer

The clearest difference is rating: Sound Timer at 5.0 against Loop's 4.4. Sound Timer also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.4). Loop's advantage is ratings volume (68 vs 1) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Loop sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Sound Timer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Sound Timer holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Loop has 68 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
