Booma
Read full descriptionHide full description
Loop any video โ repeat it up to 10 times, or turn it into a boomerang that plays forward then backward. Pick a clip, choose how it loops, and save it to Photos or share it anywhere. No ads. No subscription. Pay once and loop forever. Other loop apps charge $5.49 a month โ and then charge you again to remove the ads. Booma doesn't: one small payment unlocks unlimited loops, forever. โข REPEAT 2โ10ร โ loop any clip back-to-back, as many times as you like. โข BOOMERANG โ play it forward, then reversed, for that classic bouncing loop. โข FULL QUALITY โ export at the original resolution, with no watermark. โข SAVE & SHARE โ straight to Photos, to Files, or to any app. โข 100% PRIVATE โ everything happens on your iPhone. Your videos are never uploaded. โข NO ADS, NO SUBSCRIPTION โ pay once. No weekly fee, no ad before every export. Perfect for jumps and mid-air moments, confetti bursts, pets shaking off water, dance moves, product shots, and anything worth watching again and again. Note: boomerangs are exported without sound, so the bounce stays smooth. The app tells you whenever this happens. Repeat loops keep the original audio. Pick a video, choose Repeat or Boomerang, save. Done.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: aR Messaging at none against Booma's 1. aR Messaging also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
