Loop

Loop is an app for learning a language by scrolling short videos, the way you'd scroll anything else, except every video is real and every word is one tap away. REAL VIDEOS, FROM REAL CREATORS Street interviews, comedy, cooking, travel, sports, vlogs, podcasts and more: the kind of videos native speakers actually watch. Loop shows where each speaker is from, so you hear how the language really sounds around the world. SUBTITLES THAT FOLLOW EVERY WORD Each word lights up as it's spoken. Every line has a natural English translation, so a sentence you missed is a tap away. Turn the translation off when you want a challenge. TAP ANY WORD Tap a word to see what it means in that sentence, along with its base form, verb tense and common phrases. Hear how it's pronounced, then save it. REVIEW WITH THE SCENE Saved words come back with the moment of video you found them in, so you remember how they sounded, not just how they're spelled. Swipe right if you knew it, left if you didn't. MADE TO KEEP YOU GOING • A daily goal, a streak and achievements • Choose your level and the topics you like, or explore by genre, level and country • Slow the video down, rewatch, or play a line again • Optional daily reminder COURSES Spanish for English speakers, and English for Japanese speakers. LOOP PREMIUM Loop is free to start. Premium removes the limits on videos, word lookups and saved words. • Yearly: $49.99 per year, with a 3-day free trial for new subscribers • Monthly: $9.99 per month Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase, or at the end of the free trial.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: AI Vocab Note at none against Loop's 2. Loop's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 4 weeks). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
