Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: EchoRecorder at none against Airothy's 1. EchoRecorder also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (17.6 vs 26.0). Airothy's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
