Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: ECON at 100% against BathCheck's 50%. ECON also leads on rating (5.0 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (6 vs 1). BathCheck's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 8 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
ECON holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 1.0.

Written reviews point the same way: 100% of ECON's written reviews are positive against 50% of BathCheck's.
ECON ships an update every 8 months, BathCheck every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
