# Loop vs Lasso

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Lasso at 95% against Loop's 38%. Lasso also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 13) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 6 weeks). Loop's advantage is ratings volume (1K vs 28). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Loop sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $29.99 per month. Lasso asks for nothing beyond the download.

Lasso holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Loop has 1K ratings behind it against 28, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 38% of Loop's written reviews are positive against 95% of Lasso's.

Loop ships an update every 6 weeks, Lasso every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
