PricingSnapshotFree to download and use (iTunes lookup for app id 1457119021, fetched 2026-10-28: formattedPrice "Free", version v2.0.46 released 8 October 2026). The only vendor-stated charge on the wallet is on swaps, quoted without a rate, on rainbow.me/support/app/bridge-and-swap-tokens (fetched 28 October 2026): "Rainbow Fee: This is the percentage/amount that Rainbow applies. This fee will always be visible for you to review." No Rainbow page loaded publishes the percentage; the learn.rainbow.me article cited in August now returns HTTP 404. A separate page, rainbow.me/support/app/staking-rnbw (fetched 28 October 2026), prices tiered cashback against that unstated fee: "Silver (5,000) → 25% fee cashback in RNBW. Gold (10,000) → 50% fee cashback in RNBW. Diamond (15,000) → 75% fee cashback in RNBW. Black (20,000) → 100% fee cashback in RNBW." and "When someone unstakes, they pay a 10% exit fee, which is distributed to everyone still staking.""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." (okx.com/help/okx-wallet-faqs, fetched 28 October 2026).

Tradeoff
Read the security surface before you commit, because there isn't one. rainbow.me/security is a 301 to a marketing article whose case for safety is "Rainbow is open source" and a "world class team" — no advisory archive, no linked audit, no bug bounty, and the GitHub Security tab says outright "This project has not set up a SECURITY.md file yet" with zero advisories. Rainbow's own sitemap lists 11 URLs and not one of them is a security page. Everything verifiable about this wallet, you verify yourself from the GPL-3.0 source; nothing is verifiable from the vendor. That matters more in 2026 than it did in 2024, because the app you install today is a leveraged-trading front end — 50x perps via Hyperliquid, prediction markets, $RNBW staking tiers — while the Terms of Use governing it were last updated December 13, 2023, the release-notes feed stops at September 23, 2024, and the App Store listing, refreshed with version 2.0.45 on 2026-09-17, still describes a six-chain Ethereum wallet with no mention of perps. The wallet underneath is genuinely good and genuinely exportable. The company around it stopped publishing.

OKX Wallet

Tradeoff
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.

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.
