# MyPlate vs Loop

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Loop at 100% against MyPlate's 33%. Loop also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.1) and ads (none vs shown). MyPlate's advantage is ratings volume (20 vs 2). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MyPlate sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and Loop sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Loop holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MyPlate has 20 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 33% of MyPlate's written reviews are positive against 100% of Loop's.

MyPlate ships an update every 9 days, Loop every 6 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
