# Wave Clean vs Frequency Generator

The clearest difference is rating: Frequency Generator at 5.0 against Wave Clean's 4.4. Wave Clean's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (3.6K vs 16). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Wave Clean sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Frequency Generator sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Frequency Generator holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wave Clean has 3.6K ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Wave Clean ships an update every 5 weeks, Frequency Generator every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and July 8, 2026 respectively.
