# Microsoft Loop vs SG Planner

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SG Planner at none against Microsoft Loop's 4. SG Planner also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). Microsoft Loop's advantage is ratings volume (5K vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Microsoft Loop sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. SG Planner asks for nothing beyond the download.

SG Planner holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Microsoft Loop has 5K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
