Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Loopstone at none against Tidy X's shown. Loopstone also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). Tidy X's advantage is chart position (#49 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
