Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ECCOTEMP at none against MachBackflow's 3. ECCOTEMP also leads on ratings volume (18 vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.6). MachBackflow's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 19 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
