Text Stats analyses the text and produces lots of information. The basic stats are word and character count. It also uses the Flesch-Kincade equation to give you a reading ease score (The higher the better). There is an optional section about bad habits. This flags excessive exclaimations! So you can tone it down a bit. It also flags sentences that start with 'So', which should be looked into. Additional sections are produced for difficult words (four or more syllables) and difficult sentences. These are the top 10 most difficult sentences to parse according to the Flesch-Kincade equation. There is also a little icon at the top to send the text to other apps. Text Stats is also an Action Extension, so in other writing apps you can easily pass the data to this app and get some stats without leaving your favorite text editor. When you press the little arrow leaving the box (the share action icon), you will need to enable Text Stats (it is probably under 'more') in the menu. Then you'll get a pop-up window with your text's stats.

Echologue: A Private Voice Journal You Can Ask Later Most journals are great for capture and terrible for retrieval. Echologue turns raw voice notes and daily entries into a structured memory you can actually ask about later. CAPTURE Use voice when typing is too much friction. Record what happened, who was there, how it felt, and the small thoughts you don't want to lose. Echologue handles the structuring. ASK YOUR HISTORY Entries become retrievable memory instead of dead text. Ask about a person, trip, mood, or time period and get an answer grounded entirely in what you actually recorded: * "What were the highlights of my trip in Barcelona?" * "How do I usually feel around this person?" * "What small insights keep coming back?" FACTS + FEELINGS Echologue separates objective facts from your emotional states, extracts people and themes, and indexes entries. By keeping what happened and how you felt distinct, your recall stays trustworthy instead of vague. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ 100% LOCAL-FIRST PRIVACY Your personal archive shouldn't be a cloud database. * On-Device Storage: Your journal history, semantic memory, and profiles live exclusively on your device's local database. * Zero-Retention AI: When AI helps structure an entry or answer a question, the processing is strictly ephemeral. Data is sent securely for processing and deleted immediately. It is never logged or used for training. Total Portability: You own your data. Export to JSON/CSV, or wipe your archive completely at any time. No account required.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Echologue at Free against Text Stats's $0.99. Echologue also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 7 months). Text Stats's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
