Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: SoundEcho at none against Sound Ride's shown. SoundEcho also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 68%) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Sound Ride's advantage is ratings volume (40 vs 3) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
