Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Echo at 2.1K against notabl's 37. Echo also leads on iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). notabl's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 83%) and update cadence (every 6 days vs fortnightly). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
