The short answer is about $5,000. Both use electricity and electrical waves to kill microorganisms but that’s where the similarity ends. I don’t claim to be an expert but I do have a degree in Electrical Engineering and I have spent a lot of time looking into both technologies. I have a GB400 plus SR4 amplifier Rife machine that is on permanent loan to my daughter and a homemade plasma tube Rife system that my wife and I use. I also have a Hulda Clark Zapper that I bought for $22 from eBay. The Zapper and a Rife machine work on very different principles.

Rife Machine Characteristics
A rife machine uses audio frequencies that it amplifies and then modulates onto a radio frequency (RF) carrier wave. It then transmits the resulting signal into the body to attack a specific microorganism. The audio frequency is based on the natural resonate frequency of the microorganism you are targeting. It will setup a vibration in the microorganism that will cause it to shake itself to death while leaving the surrounding tissue and other microorganisms untouched. It is much like an opera singer breaking a glass by hitting exactly the right pitch that will cause the glass to vibrate and shatter from the sound. Because the audio signal is riding on the RF wave it can penetrate deep into the insides of the internal organs, bones and brain to attack the pathogens. The harmonics produced particularly when using a square wave play a big role.
The biggest weakness of Rife Technology is that the frequency required to kill a pathogen is unique to each pathogen. Royal Rife called these frequencies the Mortal Oscillatory Rate or MOR. For a Rife Machine to be effective you have to know two things: 1) The exact pathogen you are trying to kill and 2) The MOR frequency for that specific pathogen. Without both of these the odds of success are very low.
One of the major downsides to Rife is that when the microorganisms shake themselves to death they can release a number of toxins that can make a person quite ill. This is called the Herx effect. You have to be careful not to overdo it with the rife especially with Lyme or cancer patients or you can easily do more harm than good.
The Hulda Clark Zapper

Dr. Hulda Clark had an earned PhD in physiology so she was a classically trained biomedical researcher. She was one of the courageous pioneers who came along after Royal Rife. She did a lot of research on using frequencies to detect microorganisms and destroy them. She invented a very simple device called a “Zapper” that cost less than $10 in parts and runs on a 9 volt battery. It uses two hand held electrodes like the ones used on many hand held rife machines. It produces a ~30 kHz output that only has the positive half of the wave cycle. The wave never goes negative so it is really just a series of positive pulses which is half of a wave, not a true wave.
Her original theory was that most of the nasties have a negative charge and that the positive pulses destroyed them. However later after more research she concluded that what was actually happening was that many pathogens have the ability to lull the body’s natural defenses, principally the white blood cells, into a less active state. Her theory was that the positive only pulses reawaken and energize the white blood cells so that they start doing their job and attack the pathogens. She also theorized that many of the nasties were negatively charged and liked to hide in pockets in the cell walls. She thought the positive pulse attracted and dislodged the negatively charged nasties so that the body’s white blood cells which were energized by the positive pulses could attack and kill them. (For additional details see this article What is a Hulda Clark Zapper?)
While having exactly the right frequency to match the natural resonate frequency of the microorganism you are trying to kill is extremely important when using a rife machine, the exact frequency of the Zapper is relatively immaterial. All that matters with a Zapper is that it only puts out the positive half of the waveform and that the signal never goes negative. It relies on this positive only signal to attract the negatively charged nasties and dislodge them from their hiding places so that the body’s natural defenses can distroy them. The downside of the Zapper is that the relatively weak signal doesn’t penetrate very deep into the body, so it’s only effective at the surface level and in the blood stream. It doesn’t reach into the inside of the digestive tract or other organs, bones or brain. A Rife machine is like a sniper rifle, very powerful but very narrowly focused. A Zapper is more like a shot gun. It hits everything but doesn’t go very deep.
In recent years some zapper manufacturers have tried to enhance their products by adding the ability to run some Rife frequencies. To me this seems more like a marketing ploy that tries to blur the line between high end Rife machines and cheap zappers and justify charging more for their zappers. The zapper is still a low power device that is incapable of penetrating like a high powered Rife machine. However, some people have reported good success with these devices so the jury is still out.
To me both the Zapper and the Rife machine have their place. It’s more about using the right tool for the right job. If I’m fighting a cold or trying to head one off, it’s difficult to use the Rife because I don’t know exactly which pathogen I need to attack. In this case I will use the Zapper because it is broad spectrum and will kill lots of different pathogens. If I am going after something in particular like Lyme or Bart I will use the Rife because of its superior power and penetration. Another advantage of the zapper is that it is really small. This makes it very easy to take it with you when you travel in case anyone gets ill on the trip.
Here is a link to the schematic for the Zapper. If you don’t want to build your own you can buy a basic one on eBay for less than $25 that meets Hulda Clark’s specs or you can buy ones with more bells and whistles for more.
