# Looper vs Loopdeck

The clearest difference is ads: Loopdeck at none against Looper's shown. Loopdeck also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and review sentiment (67% vs 43%). Looper's advantage is ratings volume (4.9K vs 12) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Looper sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.19 per month and Loopdeck sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Loopdeck 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 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 43% of Looper's written reviews are positive against 67% of Loopdeck's.

Looper ships an update fortnightly, Loopdeck every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
