Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: SoundEcho at 100% against Cafe Formula's 58%. SoundEcho also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Cafe Formula's advantage is ratings volume (19 vs 3) and device support (4 vs 2). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
