Verdict
myCadillac and Buy Loop both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Buy Loop's written reviews are positive against 36% of myCadillac's. Buy Loop also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). myCadillac's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (166K vs 1). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
