# Looper vs Loop

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Loop at 100% against Looper's 42%. Loop also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.8 vs 4.4). Looper's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (4.9K vs 22). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Looper sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.19 per month and Loop sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Loop holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Looper has 4.9K ratings behind it against 22, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 42% of Looper's written reviews are positive against 100% of Loop's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
