# JQY vs Loop

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: JQY at none against Loop's 13. JQY also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Loop's advantage is ratings volume (1.1K vs 21) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.0). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Loop sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $29.99 per month. JQY asks for nothing beyond the download.

JQY holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Loop has 1.1K ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two.

JQY ships an update every 2 months, Loop every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on October 25, 2026.
