Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Loom at none against Sharks Pool's shown. Loom also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Sharks Pool's advantage is ratings volume (95 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.2). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Sharks Pool against 5.0 for Loom. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sharks Pool has 95 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
