I don’t really think you can compare the home pod to an echo as they are for different purposes,
More of a comparison would be the home pod and the sonos products which are meant for music / media playing. And now with the new sonos products having alexa built in thye do compare more to apple home pods.

I have 2 Home Pods and love them .. but I generally use them for listening to music .. or playing my Apple TV through them .. controlling my smart plugs and such .. I think they have superior sound to the Echo .. that being said, there are a lot more things that work with the Echo .. and if you are into all the trivia .. games .. etc., there are a ton of skills for the Echo. So, as most things ..”it depends” ..
