Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Loop'd App at none against Cerca Dating's 8. Loop'd App also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). Cerca Dating's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and chart position (#121 vs unranked). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
