# JAM vs Echo Loop

The clearest difference is rating: Echo Loop at 4.0 against JAM's 3.0. Echo Loop also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 11 days) and ratings volume (11 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. JAM sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Echo Loop sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Echo Loop holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Echo Loop has 11 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

JAM ships an update every 11 days, Echo Loop every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 13, 2026 respectively.
