Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: echo at none against TuneTransit's 2. echo also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks) and ratings volume (89 vs 8). TuneTransit's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 85%) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, rating, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
