Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: DreamWaves at 100% against My Olive's 17%. DreamWaves also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.1). My Olive's advantage is price (Free vs $0.99) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 125 months). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
