# Seven vs Echoes

The clearest difference is ads: Echoes at none against Seven's shown. Echoes also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). Seven's advantage is review sentiment (81% vs 50%) and ratings volume (1.2K vs 5). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Seven sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Echoes sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Echoes holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Seven has 1.2K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of Seven's written reviews are positive against 50% of Echoes's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Seven ships an update every 2 months, Echoes monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
