# Echo vs Taste

The clearest difference is price: Taste at Free against Echo's $2.99. Taste also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.7) and iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.2). Echo's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 9) and chart position (#5 vs unranked). On update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Taste is free to download; Echo costs $2.99 up front. Taste sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Echo asks for nothing beyond the download.

Taste holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Echo has 37 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Echo ships an update every 2 days, Taste every 3 days. Both last shipped on October 15, 2026.
