Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Drum Set at 4.4 against Drum Loop's 1.0. Drum Set also leads on ratings volume (410 vs 1) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). Drum Loop's advantage is monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
