# Action Loops vs FilterTok

The clearest difference is rating: FilterTok at 4.1 against Action Loops's 2.6. FilterTok also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (2.6K vs 5). Action Loops's advantage is review sentiment (56% vs 18%) and ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Action Loops sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and FilterTok sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

FilterTok holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FilterTok has 2.6K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of Action Loops's written reviews are positive against 18% of FilterTok's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Action Loops ships an update every 4 months, FilterTok weekly. The most recent releases landed on August 12, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
