Verdict

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Carro Home holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 1.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Carro Home has 597 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 23% of Carro Home's written reviews are positive against 39% of Wave Spa's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Carro Home ships an update monthly, Wave Spa every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
