# iLoom vs Dollicon

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Dollicon at 69% against iLoom's 6%. Dollicon also leads on rating (4.7 vs 1.4) and update cadence (monthly vs every 14 months). iLoom's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iLoom sells 25 one-off in-app purchases and Dollicon sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Dollicon holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 1.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dollicon has 8.4K ratings behind it against 26, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 6% of iLoom's written reviews are positive against 69% of Dollicon's.

iLoom ships an update every 14 months, Dollicon monthly. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
