The clearest difference is rating: Loopsy at 4.8 against Beadium's 4.0. Loopsy also leads on ratings volume (17K vs 8) and chart position (#106 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Loopsy sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Beadium sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Loopsy holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Loopsy has 17K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Loopsy ships an update every 5 days, Beadium every 9 days. Both last shipped on November 10, 2026.
