# Looper vs Spooli

The clearest difference is rating: Spooli at 5.0 against Looper's 4.4. Spooli also leads on ads (none vs shown). Looper's advantage is ratings volume (4.9K vs 2) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Looper sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.19 per month and Spooli sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Spooli holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Looper has 4.9K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
