Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Hypno Loops at free with in-app purchases against Trouble Tree's subscription. Hypno Loops also leads on ratings volume (20 vs 4). Trouble Tree's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hypno Loops sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Trouble Tree sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Trouble Tree holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hypno Loops has 20 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 79% of Hypno Loops's written reviews are positive against 100% of Trouble Tree's.
Hypno Loops ships an update every 10 days, Trouble Tree fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and June 7, 2026 respectively.
