Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Echoes at 4.8 against Dead Reset's 4.4. Echoes also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). Dead Reset's advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 50%) and ratings volume (25 vs 5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dead Reset sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Echoes sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Echoes holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dead Reset has 25 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Dead Reset's written reviews are positive against 50% of Echoes's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Dead Reset ships an update every 3 months, Echoes monthly. Both last shipped on October 9, 2026.
