# Loopsy vs InterTwined

The clearest difference is review sentiment: InterTwined at 100% against Loopsy's 46%. InterTwined also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Loopsy's advantage is ratings volume (17K vs 5) and chart position (#100 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Loopsy sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and InterTwined sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

InterTwined holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Loopsy has 17K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 46% of Loopsy's written reviews are positive against 100% of InterTwined's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
