# Filterloop vs FILM3D

The clearest difference is rating: Filterloop at 4.3 against FILM3D's 3.6. Filterloop also leads on review sentiment (75% vs 45%) and ratings volume (13K vs 418). FILM3D's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Filterloop sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and FILM3D sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Filterloop holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Filterloop has 13K ratings behind it against 418, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 75% of Filterloop's written reviews are positive against 45% of FILM3D's.

Filterloop ships an update every 2 months, FILM3D every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
