Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Chefaa at Free against Shockwave Therapy's $4.99. Chefaa also leads on review sentiment (44% vs 0%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months). Shockwave Therapy's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.3 vs 15.1). On rating and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
