# Looper vs Boomerang Maker

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Boomerang Maker at 100% against Looper's 42%. Boomerang Maker also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.5). Looper's advantage is ratings volume (4.9K vs 59). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Looper sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.19 per month and Boomerang Maker sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Boomerang Maker 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 59, 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 Boomerang Maker's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
