Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Echo Chamber at none against Chihu's 4. Echo Chamber also leads on ratings volume (12 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17). Chihu's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 4 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
