# Microsoft Loop vs Rest Assured

The clearest difference is rating: Rest Assured at 5.0 against Microsoft Loop's 4.6. Microsoft Loop's advantage is ratings volume (5.1K vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Microsoft Loop sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Rest Assured sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Rest Assured holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Microsoft Loop has 5.1K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
