Verdict
Both providers are practically level in our overall rating (4.8 to 4.7).
Our under-the-radar pick from Switzerland: a genuinely well-thought-out backup concept (microSD rather than a paper seed alone), open source, and set up in seconds. If your focus is Bitcoin, the even more stripped-back Bitcoin-only edition is the better fit.
The mobile alternative to Tangem, with one real security advantage: its own display, so you verify transactions on the card itself. It is designed to be carried daily; for your main cold storage, a classic desktop device remains the safer choice.
