Echo
The honest version
What Laylo does
Laylo is a drop platform: fans subscribe to your drops and get notified by SMS, email, and DM when something releases. It is well liked for release-day alerts, and it prices by fan count.
Laylo runs from free (500 fans) to $15 to $20 per month for 2,500 fans and $49 to $59 per month for 10,000, plus SMS overage (as of mid-2026).
Side by side.

Pricing
$0 to $59/mo by fan count + SMS overage
Artist is $25/month for 200 credits, Pro is $49/month for 500 credits, Label is $99/month for 1,000 credits. New accounts receive 200 initial credits; eligible unpaid accounts are topped up to 75 credits each month afterward.
Choose Laylo when
You only need drop notifications, your fan list is small, and free-tier tooling matters more than coverage.
Choose Symphony when
You want the fan layer connected to everything else: the fans Echo finds feed the ads Simmy runs and the release plan Cue protects. Messaging is one job of five, not the whole product.
