Verdict
Met Opera and Looty Pool both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Looty Pool's written reviews are positive against 57% of Met Opera's. Met Opera's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ratings volume (4.1K vs 8). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
