Soundwave is a paid app, while Eyrie ia a free alternative. Everybody is free to choose what to use.
Shazam is built on their own server. I'm really sorry this didn't work out.
In terms of quality and accuracy, I'd say SoundHound servers are the best, then Echonest and then Shazam.
I analyzed all the code, you can take my word on this.
Point is, use what you can
