LoopStation turns your device into a musical instrument. Record your own sounds / voice and combine them into one big symphony with this looper. Do what you would want to do with a real physical loop pedal. Make your own music by beatboxing, singing or by playing around with your instruments! Start this looper by recording the basetrack or start up the metronome to help you with timing. Every next recording will be an overdub of the basetrack. Add reverb, change volume, adjust the position... it's all possible! When you are done, make a single track of your loop by recording a session. Then share this session with all your friends and fellow musicians by sharing it with the other apps you have on your phone (Facebook, WhatsApp, SoundCloud, Mail, etc...). In order to prevent the app from re-recording itself, It is VERY IMPORTANT to use headphones to keep the recordings clean. Features: - Record synced tracks (overdub) - Control volume per loop - Save/Load recordings - Metronome Premium - Shift timing of each individual loop - Merge tracks - Change playback speed - Add reverb - Session recording - Export sessions to your other apps; Facebook, WhatsApp, SoundCloud, Mail, etc... Let me know if you have any problems or feature requests! With thanks to Unity!

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Drumify at 4.2 against LoopStation's 3.3. Drumify also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 months). LoopStation's advantage is ratings volume (52 vs 9) and iOS requirement (7.1 vs 15.5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
