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