Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Echo Line at none against Type Run's 1. Echo Line also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). Type Run's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). On price there is nothing between them.
