Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: elspet at 4.6 against Wave Spa's 2.0. elspet also leads on ratings volume (2K vs 8). Wave Spa's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 16 months) and iOS requirement (12.4 vs 14.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
elspet holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: elspet has 2K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 39% of elspet's written reviews are positive against 46% of Wave Spa's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
elspet ships an update every 16 months, Wave Spa every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and July 7, 2026 respectively.
