Class Echo REQUIRES a registered / paid SPAD.neXt software license (MSFS / FSX / P3D Edition) and valid simulator installation (Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020) to operate. The Class Echo simulator panel is a controller made specifically for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. It takes many of the most common controls and puts them at your fingertips. No longer do you have to pan around the cockpit and zoom into autopilot, radio, COM and NAV panels. Autopilot values are selected easily using the touch screen and digital rotary encoder. COM and NAV frequencies are swapped with a touch, and input is done with a responsive touch screen number pad. Essential information about your flight, fuel and engines are displayed on screen in an easy-to-read layout. The Class Echo can be paired with an external hardware knob (ShakePrint Knob, Sim Innovations Knobster, or a DIY option) to allow for an amazing experience with the touch controls and tactile feel of a physical encoder. The Class echo is fully programmable and utilizes SPAD.neXt 'profiles' to allow for custom control hotspots, logic, and other user-derived workflows to be created. Please see the ShakePrint website and discord if you have questions, issues, or feedback on the Class Echo.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Catgotchi at Free against Class Echo's $19.99. Catgotchi also leads on ratings volume (1.5K vs 6) and review sentiment (83% vs 71%). Class Echo's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Catgotchi is free to download; Class Echo costs $19.99 up front. Catgotchi sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Class Echo asks for nothing beyond the download.
Class Echo holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Catgotchi has 1.5K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Catgotchi's written reviews are positive against 71% of Class Echo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Catgotchi ships an update every 3 months, Class Echo every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and June 5, 2026 respectively.
