Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Control Center Responder at none against Microsoft Loop's 4. Control Center Responder also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.0). Microsoft Loop's advantage is ratings volume (5.2K vs 1) and update cadence (monthly vs every 5 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
