App Features: — Contextually organize detailed project information like materials, photos, surveys, measurements, notes, and tasks into a single library, streamlining workflow and reducing time-consuming redundancies and costly inaccuracies. — Customize a wide range of data fields to capture every aspect of a building or project, which can then be instantly accessed both in the field and at the desk. — Connect Layer to Revit to view, edit, and sync real-time data directly to a building model, giving the entire team — from architect to owner — instant access to absolutely everything.

Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Layer Platform at free against eConverge's subscription. Layer Platform also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks) and ratings volume (13 vs 2). eConverge's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
