Verdict
The clearest difference is price: BAFWorks at Free against EchoAccess's $2.99. BAFWorks also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.5) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 17.0). EchoAccess's advantage is chart position (#189 vs unranked) and ratings volume (8 vs 1). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
