Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: OCD HELP at Free against Shockwave Therapy's $4.99. OCD HELP also leads on review sentiment (30% vs 0%) and update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months). Shockwave Therapy's advantage is rating (4.0 vs 3.1) and in-app purchases (none vs 18). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Shockwave Therapy holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OCD HELP has 17 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 30% of OCD HELP's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Shockwave Therapy ships an update every 4 months, OCD HELP monthly. The most recent releases landed on June 5, 2026 and September 12, 2026 respectively.
