Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Shockwave Therapy at 4.0 against Recognise Foot's 3.0. Shockwave Therapy also leads on price ($4.99 vs $5.99) and iOS requirement (9.3 vs 13.0). Recognise Foot's advantage is review sentiment (33% vs 0%) and ratings volume (22 vs 2). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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
Shockwave Therapy costs $4.99 and Recognise Foot $5.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Shockwave Therapy holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Recognise Foot has 22 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Shockwave Therapy's written reviews are positive against 33% of Recognise Foot's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 5, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
