Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: SoundEcho at 100% against Blindfold Hearts's 50%. SoundEcho also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 2 months). Blindfold Hearts's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.3) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Blindfold Hearts sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and SoundEcho sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Blindfold Hearts holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1 and 3 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Blindfold Hearts's written reviews are positive against 100% of SoundEcho's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Blindfold Hearts ships an update every 2 months, SoundEcho every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
