Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Lingvano at 4.9 against Echoes's 3.3. Lingvano also leads on review sentiment (66% vs 38%) and ratings volume (121K vs 24). Echoes's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 16.4). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
