Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Reflex at freemium against Filterloop's subscription. Reflex also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months). Filterloop's advantage is ratings volume (13K vs 29). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Filterloop sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Reflex sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.3 for Filterloop against 4.2 for Reflex. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Filterloop has 13K ratings behind it against 29, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 75% of Filterloop's written reviews are positive against 67% of Reflex's.
Filterloop ships an update every 2 months, Reflex every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
