That is a good question and as is the case with many vehicles, the trailer hitches that fit the 2020 Ford EcoSport are similar to the point where there is little differentiating them.

Both the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 36660 and Curt Trailer Hitch # C12188 are a fit for your '20 EcoSport and have the same 3,500 lb towing capacity, 350 lb tongue weight capacity and even install the same way. Each hitch is a bolt-on installation that does not require any type of drilling to install on your EcoSport.

Really, the only difference aside from price is that the Curt is assembled in the USA while the Draw-Tite is not, and the Curt has a glossy black powder coat finish while the Draw-Tite does not, so you can use those factors to determine which is the right hitch for you. I have added links to the written instructions for you to take a look at as well.
