# Loopy Bird vs Bird Kind

The clearest difference is rating: Bird Kind at 4.8 against Loopy Bird's 3.8. Bird Kind also leads on ratings volume (2.5K vs 138) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). Loopy Bird's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Loopy Bird sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Bird Kind sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Bird Kind holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bird Kind has 2.5K ratings behind it against 138, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Loopy Bird's written reviews are positive against 71% of Bird Kind's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Loopy Bird ships an update monthly, Bird Kind fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
