Graph is straightforward: • Makes graphs from numbers. • Made by the data visualization expert - VVI®. • Touch-hold a graph to email, print or save to your Photo Album. • Plenty of built-in options. • AirDrop your graph to the most powerful data visualization application on the iPad, Graph IDE. FEATURES • Includes several 1D, 2D and 3D graph types such as bar, column, pie, line, area, scatter, 3D perspective scatter, trajectory and surface, volumetric, z-sliced cell, maps, linear, semi-log, x-log, log-log, polar, r-log, Gregorian date and many variations. • Data is pasted from the pasteboard and inserted and edited using a table interface. • Touch-hold a graph to export it to Graph IDE on the iPad. Graph IDE is the most powerful data visualization application for the iPad and gives access to a wide variety of graph types and graphical effects. (Graph IDE is separately available for the iPad). • Touch graphs to rotate, zoom, scroll and scan data. • Touch data graphics, such as lines and bars, to show data values. • Touch-hold a graph to copy, print, mail, AirDrop and save it to other applications. • Data and preferences are organized by project and each project is persistent and automatically saved so you can show and retrieve your settings and data on subsequent use. NOTE: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. The Location Tracking task requires GPS for its function.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: WAVE reusables at 5.0 against Graph's 2.9. WAVE reusables also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 26.0). Graph's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (15 vs 2). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
