Artlapse is the ultimate Timelapse recording app for artists. It captures your brushstrokes at a specified interval for a specified duration. The clips are then combined to create a stunning Timelapse video that doesn't jank like the regular Timelapse feature on the camera. It can even detect motion in the image so that it always shows something interesting.
Loop

Here's the timelapse application designed for live performances (painting, graffiti, editing, collage...). Street artists and others who want to create a live timelapse can use this application. While recording your performance, this application creates a timelapse loop that continuously enriches itself with new photos taken by the iPhone. Anyone, at any time, can therefore see a timelapse of your ongoing performance in just a few minutes.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Artlapse at none against Loop's 1. Artlapse also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks). Loop's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.2 vs 16.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
