Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: LoopView at 100% against Video Player's 53%. LoopView also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4) and iOS requirement (14.1 vs 16.6). Video Player's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 3.6) and ratings volume (734 vs 5). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Video Player sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. LoopView asks for nothing beyond the download.
Video Player holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Video Player has 734 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of Video Player's written reviews are positive against 100% of LoopView's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and June 2, 2026 respectively.
