Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Stud Pop at none against Loop Stack's shown. Stud Pop also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 9 days). Loop Stack's advantage is ratings volume (15 vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
