Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SplitPDF at none against loopStream's 2. SplitPDF also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). loopStream's advantage is device support (5 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
