# Merge Fables® vs Echo

The clearest difference is ads: Echo at none against Merge Fables®'s shown. Merge Fables®'s advantage is chart position (#160 vs unranked) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Merge Fables® sells 13 one-off in-app purchases and Echo sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
