Verdict
Both providers are practically level in our overall rating (4.8 to 4.9).
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 most beginner-friendly wallet in this comparison: no seed phrase to write down (the backup is another card) and a setup that is genuinely quick. Power users will miss a display and advanced features – but as a pocket wallet and a first hardware wallet, it is an easy recommendation in 2026.
