Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DuplinEMS at none against Eko's 2. DuplinEMS also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). Eko's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and chart position (#7 vs unranked). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
