# EchoAccess vs Q

The clearest difference is price: Q at Free against EchoAccess's $2.99. Q also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.5) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). EchoAccess's advantage is update cadence (every 5 months vs every 11 months) and ratings volume (8 vs 1). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Q is free to download; EchoAccess costs $2.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Q holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EchoAccess has 8 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

EchoAccess ships an update every 5 months, Q every 11 months. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and June 6, 2026 respectively.
