Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: RSVP Live at none against The Echo's 2. RSVP Live also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 12 months). The Echo's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
