Choose LeadSync if
Google Contacts is the finish line, not excel, csv, vcard and html backup files
WASendly is built to produce excel, csv, vcard and html backup files. If that file is a step you have to take rather than the thing you wanted, LeadSync removes it: numbers go from WhatsApp Web into Google Contacts directly, checked against that account for duplicates on the way in, and named with a prefix you choose.
Choose WASendly if
Its advertised output is the job
Users who need chat backup as well as contact files. A wider export and backup utility that includes chat-history backup. A file can also be useful for archiving, filtering columns or importing into a non-Google CRM.

The honest framing is that these are different finished products, not better and worse versions of one. WASendly sets out to give you excel, csv, vcard and html backup files, and a wider export and backup utility that includes chat-history backup. That is genuinely the right output when the next step is a spreadsheet, a non-Google CRM, or an archive you keep.
LeadSync’s finished product is a contact in Google Contacts that appears on your phone without you doing anything else. There is no file, no column mapping and no import. LeadSync does not read or back up messages. It is a privacy-narrow contact saver for people whose destination is Google Contacts.
So the question is not which tool is stronger — it is whether users who need chat backup as well as contact files. If that describes you, WASendly is the better fit and we would rather say so here than have you buy the wrong thing.
