MetaMaskScore 80The default EVM wallet: seed and per-account private-key export both documented on a stated BIP-44 path, a 2017-2025 public audit trail with three dated vendor advisories, and a pre-signature balance preview for contract interactions only, enforced onchain on 15 named networks for smart accounts on Extension.Strength: Key export — 9/10Watch-out: Read the fine print behind the three security claims on metamask.io before treating them as the product. All three are true and all three are narrower than they read. "Transaction protection available up to $10k" is not a wallet feature: it is Transaction Shield, "$9.99 monthly or $99 yearly", "Early access is now available on MetaMask Extension" only, capped at "Coverage of up to 100 transactions per month", and it explicitly "does not cover transactions deemed malicious by MetaMask" — so it does not pay out on the flagged case you most fear, and it does not exist on mobile. "Regularly audited by security firms" is backed by 17 genuinely public report links across 15 dated entries, but no report published since 2022 audits the shipped application itself: the 2023-2024 entries cover libraries, Snaps and build hardening, and the 2025 entries audit the mUSD stablecoin contract. And the pre-signature preview most buyers assume they are getting is, per MetaMask's own page (re-read 2026-09-28), available only "for contract interactions", not for native transfers; the enforced onchain simulation that reverts a transaction when execution diverges from the preview covers 15 named networks but is on by default only for "MetaMask smart accounts on Extension", and no page says what the confirmation screen shows when a simulation cannot be produced. If you pair a hardware device, two MetaMask troubleshooting pages tell you to enable blind signing, one of them with no qualifier at all. Finally, the exit that makes this record strong — pulling your encrypted vault out of local storage and decrypting it offline — is Chromium-desktop-only: MetaMask's own recovery page says it is "not currently possible" on Android or iOS, that the iOS method "is no longer working", that an Android solution is still being worked on, and that Firefox's data-encoding changes have made the instructions "of limited use".OKX WalletScore 66The self-custody multichain wallet of the OKX group: seed and private-key export, a funded HackerOne bounty and a public audit library, a named in-house scanner but no documented pre-signing simulation.Strength: Key export — 6/10Watch-out: Two OKX Wallet set-ups behave differently. The seed-phrase wallet keeps keys on your device. The Social Login wallet (Google, Apple or email) keeps keys "in a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE)" run by OKX, recovers through the social account, and has Auto-Confirm on by default, so market and limit orders are signed with no prompt (okx.com/en-eu/help/social-login-faq and what-is-auto-confirm-in-okx-wallet, read 2026-10-28). Exporting its seed permanently unlinks the social account. Swaps through OKX DEX carry an interface fee of 0% to 0.5% by token group.

PricingSnapshot"Subscribing to Transaction Shield is $9.99 monthly or $99 yearly, and includes: Transaction Protection of up to $10,000 per month for eligible interactions", with "Coverage of up to 100 transactions per month", "Try it free for 14 days." and "Early access is now available on MetaMask Extension." (support.metamask.io/manage-crypto/transactions/transaction-shield/, fetched 28 October 2026). The wallet client itself carries no download or subscription price on any vendor page; MetaMask monetises through transaction fees, both vendor-stated on their own pages: the buy FAQ says "MetaMask receives a 1% fee on every transaction, calculated as a percentage of the fiat value you request" (support.metamask.io/manage-crypto/move-crypto/buy/faqs/, fetched 28 October 2026), and the swaps guide breaks a quote into "Quote rate", "Network fee" and "MetaMask fee: 0.875%" (support.metamask.io/trade/swap/user-guide-swaps/, fetched 28 October 2026)."OKX DEX charges users a flat user interface fee for using the OKX DEX interface to access and conduct transactions on third-party DEXs." The published rates are 0% (Others <> Others), 0.1% (Group 1 <> Group 1), 0.25% (Group 1 <> Group 2) and 0.5% (Group 2 <> Group 2), and "No interface fee is charged on certain transactions, such as native-token wrap/unwrap, liquid staking, and protocol deposits/withdrawals from Aave protocol" (web3.okx.com/dex-fees, rendered 28 October 2026). Which group ETH and USDC fall in is set on a separate token-group page not read here. The wallet app itself carries no price, and network fees go to the chain: "OKX wallet doesn't charge this network fee and is unable to refund it."

Score dimensions
weights sum to 86
The published score is five dimensions, each weighted for the category. "Published criteria" is the criteria block above; the other four are the engine's own terms — availability, friction, trust record, measured data. Each bar is one side's points out of that dimension's maximum; the weight beside the name is its points of the 86-point weighted total. The published criteria above can fill 24 of the block’s 30. A weight marked “constant here” belongs to a dimension every ranked product in the category holds at the same value: it still counts in the total, and it orders nothing here.
