Key differences
💸 Wavebox is the most expensive option in this category
$19/month or $165/year, with no free plan — only a 14-day trial. Centrio Pro is $2.20/month, roughly 8–9x cheaper for the year.
🔒 A built-in VPN — only in Centrio
Wavebox doesn't offer a VPN at all. Centrio ships with full VPN support across VLESS, VMess, Trojan, Shadowsocks and Hysteria2 — useful if some of the services you rely on are blocked or throttled on your network.
🐌 Wavebox uses 500–700 MB of RAM
Wavebox is known for being resource-hungry — with several tabs active it can use 500–700 MB of memory. Centrio uses about 180 MB. On an 8 GB machine, that gap is significant.
🔑 PIN lock — only in Centrio
Centrio supports PIN-code locking with auto-lock on launch or minimize, synced across devices via the cloud. Wavebox has no equivalent privacy feature.
🌍 More languages, broader regional coverage
Centrio ships in 5 interface languages and supports several services Wavebox doesn't cover well, including VK and Yandex-based tools — useful if you work across different regions or with international teams.

Verdict
Wavebox is a solid product for enterprise teams, but its $19/month price is hard to justify for most individual users. Unless your company is already covering the bill, it's overkill.
Centrio wins on price (8–9x cheaper), a built-in VPN, lower memory usage, and PIN-code locking that Wavebox doesn't offer.
