# I Can vs Echo

The clearest difference is ads: I Can at none against Echo's shown. Echo's advantage is review sentiment (78% vs 44%) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. I Can sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Echo sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
