Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Loop at 5.0 against Smart TV's 3.8. Loop also leads on ads (none vs shown). Smart TV's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
