***Rated #6 App in the Music Category in April '13*** Voice Loop is an A-B repeat type voice recorder that allows you to record unlimited audio tracks and loop them together. Record tracks with a given tempo and number of measures to sync the loops perfectly, or just record tracks with any length. A visual and auditory metronome helps sync tracks.

Voice Loop gives you controls to easily navigate through the recorded files, delete any tracks, or record new tracks while playing previously recorded tracks. Click 'Merge Tracks' to compile the recorded tracks into one file. All tracks and compilations will save to your phone until you delete them, and you can email tracks from the app. Voice Loop features: - record tracks with a fixed limit or unlimited length - specify length or number of measures for the track - visual and audio metronome help sync tracks perfectly - custom tempo for the measures and metronome - visual VU meter to see microphone power input - option to begin playback at the start of recording - loop each track infinitely or choose a number of loops - choose between playing audio through the speaker or the earpiece of the iPhone - tracks and compilations save to your phone permanently until you delete them - record new tracks while listening to playback - beautiful retina graphics - easily navigate through tracks and control playback of multiple tracks at once - move files around to organize tracks - share tracks via email from within the app - rename files to better organize compilation - bluetooth support

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: MonitorMix at Free against Voice Loop's $0.99. MonitorMix also leads on rating (3.0 vs 2.6) and ratings volume (87 vs 23). Voice Loop's advantage is review sentiment (27% vs 16%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

MonitorMix is free to download; Voice Loop costs $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
MonitorMix holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 23 and 87 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of Voice Loop's written reviews are positive against 16% of MonitorMix's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Voice Loop ships an update every 13 months, MonitorMix every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
