Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: EchoPets at none against PawBoost's shown. EchoPets also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). PawBoost's advantage is ratings volume (2.2K vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
