Verdict

The call

Eko and eNcounterView both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of eNcounterView's written reviews are positive against 52% of Eko's. eNcounterView also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 18.0). Eko's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 9 months) and ratings volume (11K vs 2). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
