Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Echelon at none against Global Intelligence's shown. Echelon also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). Global Intelligence's advantage is iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.1). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
