# EchoEnglish vs Echo101

The clearest difference is ratings volume: EchoEnglish at 141 against Echo101's 1. EchoEnglish also leads on device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (14 vs 16.1). Echo101's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and review sentiment (100% vs 89%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. EchoEnglish sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $0.69 per month and Echo101 sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Echo101 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EchoEnglish has 141 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 89% of EchoEnglish's written reviews are positive against 100% of Echo101's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
