# Smart Strip vs Echo

The clearest difference is rating: Echo at 4.9 against Smart Strip's 4.0. Echo also leads on ratings volume (77 vs 1). Smart Strip's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Echo sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Smart Strip asks for nothing beyond the download.

Echo holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Echo has 77 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
