Frequency Therapy Devices for Home Use Compared: Prices, Differences and Software

Frequency therapy has been part of alternative medicine for decades. It gets particular attention in Germany, partly because of the country's long naturopathy tradition. BICOM and Rayonex come from the German speaking world, and Healy was also founded in Germany.

This guide explains what frequency therapy is, which devices are sold for home use, what they cost and where software is an alternative.

What is frequency therapy?

Frequency therapy is an umbrella term for alternative medicine practices in which specific electromagnetic frequencies are meant to act on the body. The underlying idea: living organisms vibrate at certain resonant frequencies, and applying a targeted frequency can help restore balance when these natural patterns are disturbed.

The concept draws on physical principles such as resonance and wave mechanics, but extends into areas that conventional medicine has not validated. Different methods work in different ways: RIFE therapy uses electromagnetic signals based on the work of Royal Rife, bioresonance aims to read the body's own vibrations and return corrected signals, and radionics uses numerical codes.

Important: none of these methods is recognised as a medical treatment by conventional medicine. They count as complementary practices, an addition to medical care, not a replacement.

How frequency therapy differs from bioresonance

The terms are often used interchangeably, but they mean different things. Frequency therapy is the umbrella term for all methods that apply specific frequencies. Bioresonance is a subgroup: devices that, by their own account, read the body's electromagnetic signals, process them and send corrected patterns back. Professional bioresonance devices such as BICOM work this way. Frequency generators such as Spooky2 instead send preset frequencies without that feedback loop.

Frequency Therapy Devices for Home Use Compared

The table below compares five options that people often look for. The prices come from our comparison pages. For Healy, BICOM and Spooky2 the sources were checked on 9 September 2026. The Rayonex prices come from our Rayonex comparison and were not reconfirmed with the manufacturer for this article. Always ask for a current written quote before you buy.

Is there a best device?

No. We found no comparative test of these devices by an independent testing body. A real test winner would require the devices to be tested against each other under the same conditions, and those studies do not exist. What does exist is manufacturer information, user reports and, for Healy, a single observational study funded by the manufacturer without a control group.

So a more useful question than "which one wins?" is "what do I need?":

• A device with a documented function for muscle pain: Healy, because its FDA clearance covers exactly this TENS use. For its other frequency programs, Healy itself says they have not been independently confirmed.
• An affordable frequency generator to experiment with: Spooky2. Expect a learning curve and hardware costs, even though the software is free.
• A bioresonance device for a practice: Rayonex or BICOM. Both are aimed at practitioners, and both require training and a substantial investment.
• A free start without a device: ResoField. There is no physical signal, but you get libraries, client profiles, custom lists and protocols in the browser.

What the price tells you and what it doesn't

Hardware allows physical transmission through contact electrodes, plasma tubes or coils. For RIFE devices that matters according to their own theory, because the body is supposed to be exposed to the signal. For bioresonance devices, the connection to the device is part of the claimed mechanism.

Expensive hardware does not automatically give better results. There is no clinical evidence that more expensive devices work better. The gap between a Spooky2 Starter Kit at around $350 and a professional system reflects manufacturing, warranty, training programmes and regulatory requirements, not proven superiority in use.

Software as an alternative

Software without its own device produces no signal at the body. For methods that rely on a physical signal, such as RIFE with contact electrodes, software is therefore no substitute. For radionics, digital homeopathy and managing protocols, on the other hand, you don't need a device.

My wife and I have worked with frequency therapy and homeopathy for more than seven years. For remote sessions and for clients who prefer a contact free session, we use radionics.

ResoField as software

ResoField is a free browser application that works like digital radionics. The app links a remedy or program, as a number called a rate, to a client and sends it without any device producing a signal. On top of that it has libraries for RIFE programs, bioresonance and homeopathy, client profiles, custom lists and protocols. The details are on How ResoField works.

For someone who wants to explore frequency therapy before spending money on hardware, or for practitioners who want to manage their protocols digitally, that is a way in at no cost.

Hardware and software side by side

What does research say about frequency therapy?

The evidence is thin. No large, peer reviewed clinical trials have confirmed the specific claims of most frequency therapy methods, neither for RIFE frequencies against particular pathogens nor for bioresonance devices correcting the body's own patterns.

There is related research. Music therapy has documented effects on stress, anxiety and pain perception. Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMF) has a clinical evidence base, but works differently from the devices above. For TENS, the technique behind Healy's pain function, a meta-analysis of 381 randomised trials found moderate certainty evidence of pain relief during or right after use.

From frequency therapy itself come practitioner reports, case studies and some laboratory studies, all well below the testing standard of conventional medicine. That does not mean the practices do nothing, but claims deserve a critical look.

German law only treats frequency therapy devices as medical devices when they have a medical intended purpose. Healy itself distinguishes between its TENS function and its IMF programs, which according to the manufacturer are not medical applications.

A practical assessment

People who use frequency therapy regularly often report subjective improvements: better sleep, less stress, a general sense of wellbeing. These reports also fit placebo and relaxation effects, which are not trivial in themselves.

The most reasonable view: frequency therapy is a complementary practice with a real practitioner tradition and a lot of user experience, but limited clinical confirmation. Realistic expectations help more than enthusiasm or blanket rejection.

Frequency therapy is not a medical treatment. It does not replace medical advice or treatment. Always see a doctor for health complaints.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which frequency therapy device is the best?

There is no independent test winner. We found no comparative test of Healy, Rayonex, BICOM, Spooky2 or other devices by an independent testing body. Which device fits depends on whether you want a documented TENS function, an affordable frequency generator, a device for your practice or a free start without a device.

Which frequency therapy devices are there for home use?

Healy and Spooky2 are the ones mainly aimed at private users. Healy is a wearable electrical stimulation device whose price varies by region and bundle. Spooky2 cost $345.69 for the Starter Kit on the day we checked. Rayonex (Rayocomp PS 10 from €3,495 plus VAT) and BICOM (price on request only) are aimed at practitioners.

How much does a frequency therapy device cost?

The range is wide. A Spooky2 Starter Kit cost $345.69 on the day we checked, Central Kits $2,809.38 to $3,109.38. Rayonex UK lists the Rayocomp PS 1000 polar 4.0 base unit at £21,990. There is no current public price for BICOM. Healy prices depend on region and bundle.

Is there free frequency therapy software?

Yes. ResoField is a browser application with libraries for RIFE programs, bioresonance, radionics and homeopathy, plus client profiles, custom lists and protocols. It produces no physical signal and needs no device.

How does frequency therapy differ from bioresonance?

Frequency therapy is the umbrella term. Bioresonance is a subgroup in which a device, by its own account, reads the body's electromagnetic signals, processes them and sends modified signals back. BICOM and Rayonex work this way. Frequency generators such as Spooky2 instead send preset frequencies without feedback. Healy is an electrical stimulation device with its own frequency programs.
