Verdict
The clearest difference is price: InShot at Free against Wavebox Audio Editor's $7.99. InShot also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (2.5M vs 69). Wavebox Audio Editor's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 11) and ads (none vs shown). On update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
