Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Xender at 64% against WaveAgent's 0%. Xender also leads on rating (4.1 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (17K vs 4). WaveAgent's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
