# Wave Health vs SickPredict™

The clearest difference is monetization model: Wave Health at free with in-app purchases against SickPredict™'s subscription. Wave Health also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (271 vs 32). SickPredict™'s advantage is review sentiment (73% vs 39%) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Wave Health sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $13.99 per month and SickPredict™ sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Wave Health holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wave Health has 271 ratings behind it against 32, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 39% of Wave Health's written reviews are positive against 73% of SickPredict™'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Wave Health ships an update monthly, SickPredict™ every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
