Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Loop at 100% against Aquarium Crush's 56%. Loop also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 8 days). Aquarium Crush's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (2.2K vs 4). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
