Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Echoes at 4.8 against FEAR US's 2.7. Echoes also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (50% vs 33%). FEAR US's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly) and ratings volume (28 vs 5). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
