Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: LoopMer at none against Pip's shown. LoopMer also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 4 weeks) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Pip's advantage is ratings volume (1.2K vs 5). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
