EchoAccess's advantage is rating (3.5 vs 2.5). On ratings volume, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

EchoAccess holds the better App Store score, 3.5 against 2.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 18 and 8 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 23% of bsn.Mobile's written reviews are positive against 0% of EchoAccess's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
