Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Clear Wave at 67% against Smilophone's 0%. Clear Wave also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 11 months) and ratings volume (56 vs 1).

Both are free to download. Clear Wave sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Smilophone asks for nothing beyond the download.
Smilophone holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Clear Wave has 56 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Smilophone's written reviews are positive against 67% of Clear Wave's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Smilophone ships an update every 11 months, Clear Wave weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
