The clearest difference is rating: Echo Prayer at 4.8 against Pray Focus's 4.3. Echo Prayer also leads on ratings volume (22K vs 9) and review sentiment (80% vs 71%).

Both are free to download. Echo Prayer sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Pray Focus sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
