Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Audio Looper at 3.6 against Vocalize's 1.4. Audio Looper also leads on review sentiment (55% vs 18%) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). Vocalize's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs every 3 weeks). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
