Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: PapiWall at 4.5 against Loopy Bird's 3.8. PapiWall also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 11.0). Loopy Bird's advantage is update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (128 vs 15). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Loopy Bird sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. PapiWall asks for nothing beyond the download.
PapiWall holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Loopy Bird has 128 ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of PapiWall's written reviews are positive against 75% of Loopy Bird's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
PapiWall ships an update every 7 months, Loopy Bird every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on July 23, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
