Clear Wave plays sound waves that shake water out of your iPhone's speaker, so the sound comes back clear. It also has a tone generator, a dB meter, and speaker and microphone tests. Key Features: Speaker Cleaner – A 165 Hz water-eject program pushes trapped water out of the speaker. Choose 15, 30 or 60 seconds; Clear Wave reminds you to turn the volume up for the best clean. Tone Generator – Play any frequency from 10 Hz to 20,000 Hz with sine, triangle, square or sawtooth waves, and see the matching musical note. Useful for sound checks, tuning and testing audio equipment. dB Meter – Measure the sound level around you, with average, minimum and maximum, the current frequency, and how loud it really is, from "like a library" to "like a rock concert". Measurement Photos – Take a photo with the sound level and the date on it, and save it to your photo library. Speaker Test – Play sound through the top and bottom speakers separately, plus a deep bass pulse, to check that both work. Microphone Check – Clap or speak and find out whether your microphone hears you clearly. Clean Reminder – Get a daily or weekly reminder to clean your speakers. Siri – Start cleaning hands-free with Siri. Subscription Pricing & Terms: Clear Wave offers auto-renewing subscription options.

Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Wavex at free with in-app purchases against Clear Wave's subscription. Wavex also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). Clear Wave's advantage is ratings volume (2.4K vs 213). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Clear Wave sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Wavex sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Clear Wave against 4.5 for Wavex. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Clear Wave has 2.4K ratings behind it against 213, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 22% of Clear Wave's written reviews are positive against 14% of Wavex's.
Clear Wave ships an update every 3 weeks, Wavex weekly. Both last shipped on October 25, 2026.
