# EchoLink vs Groupable Passport

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Groupable Passport at 100% against EchoLink's 62%. EchoLink's advantage is rating (4.0 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (41 vs 3). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

EchoLink holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EchoLink has 41 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of EchoLink's written reviews are positive against 100% of Groupable Passport's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

EchoLink ships an update every 4 months, Groupable Passport every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
