Verdict
The clearest difference is price: FieldBuddy Go at Free against Echo's $2.99. FieldBuddy Go also leads on iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.2). Echo's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly) and chart position (#6 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
