Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: JID at none against Echo's 2. Echo's advantage is ratings volume (2.1K vs 40) and review sentiment (83% vs 71%). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Echo sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. JID asks for nothing beyond the download.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Echo against 4.8 for JID. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Echo has 2.1K ratings behind it against 40, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 83% of Echo's written reviews are positive against 71% of JID's.
