In Stained Echoes standard game mode, you spend each turn repeating back an every-increasing musical pattern. There are pre-made 100, 250, 500, 750, and 1,000 long sequences to memorize and play. In random game mode, you choose to activate 2 through 6 glass pieces and try to repeat the pattern played for you. This game mode features leaderboards to compete against others. Finally, in music mode you can just tap on the pieces to create relaxing melodies.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Stained Echoes at every 4 days against Dash Tag's monthly. Dash Tag's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.4). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
