Verdict
SPL VPN and Echo VPN both sit at 4.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of SPL VPN's written reviews are positive against 63% of Echo VPN's. SPL VPN also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). Echo VPN's advantage is ratings volume (7 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
