Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Little Looms at 4.9 against Macworld's 1.8. Little Looms also leads on ratings volume (80 vs 6). Macworld's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Macworld sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $10.99 per 6 months and Little Looms sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $39.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Little Looms holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 1.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Little Looms has 80 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two.
