# Relative vs LoopDeLoop

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Relative at 60% against LoopDeLoop's 0%. Relative also leads on rating (4.3 vs 1.0) and update cadence (every 4 months vs every 39 months). LoopDeLoop's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Relative sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and LoopDeLoop sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Relative holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Relative has 65 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 60% of Relative's written reviews are positive against 0% of LoopDeLoop's.

Relative ships an update every 4 months, LoopDeLoop every 39 months. The most recent releases landed on July 5, 2026 and September 16, 2026 respectively.
