Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PokLibNY at none against Loopsy's 10. PokLibNY also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.6). Loopsy's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (17K vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
