Trust WalletScore 80Mainstream self-custody mobile wallet with a genuinely documented simulate-and-decode signing screen on both platforms — but whose browser extension was supply-chain compromised in December 2025, still cannot export a raw private key, and whose audit register and security page carry no account of its own 2023 key-generation flaw.Strength: Key export — 8/10Watch-out: Read the vendor's own v2.68 post-mortem before you install the browser extension: https://trustwallet.com/blog/company/trust-wallet-browser-extension-v268-incident-community-update. Between 24 and 26 December 2025 an attacker published a backdoored build of the extension straight to the Chrome Web Store using a leaked API key, bypassing Trust Wallet's internal review; the vendor confirms 2,520 wallet addresses drained and approximately $8.5m in assets impacted. Reimbursement is promised but not finished: as of the post's last update on 17 July 2026 it still reads "We are finalizing the reimbursement workflow and ownership verification process", against "over 5,000 claims" for 2,520 verified addresses, and the page's own description calls itself "A work-in-progress update". The extension is also the weaker half of the product on exit: Developer Mode, the only documented private-key export, is "not available on Browser Extension". Separately, no vendor account of the 2022-23 key-generation flaw (CVE-2023-31290, exploited in the wild in December 2022 and March 2023) appears on its security-audit register or its /security page, both re-read on 2026-09-28, despite a published policy that remediated vulnerabilities will be disclosed. If you want Trust Wallet, the mobile app is the surface the evidence supports; treat the extension as the higher-risk, lower-portability half.SolflareScore 75Solana-only self-custody wallet that documents seed AND per-account private-key export on both extension and mobile in printed steps, and whose named in-house scanner is described only in prose — no audit, no bug bounty, no advisory archive exists on any Solflare surface.Strength: Key export — 10/10Watch-out: Solflare tells you what its protection does, never what your screen shows, and publishes nothing a security engineer can check. Its scanner is named and described in prose — "Every time you go to sign a transaction, Solflare Guards step in to" … "They simulate the transaction behind the scenes" (solflare.com/crypto-101/crypto-wallet-security-101-how-solflare-protects-your-assets/) — but no Solflare page renders a balance-change diff or a decoded human-readable action, so "What You See Is What You Sign" is a claim about a screen the vendor has never documented. Behind it: solflare.com/security/ names no audit, no auditor and no bug-bounty programme; /.well-known/security.txt is HTTP 404; none of the eight sitemaps (page 94, blog 31, crypto-101 54, glossary 120, guide 18, ecosystem 5, job 6, blog-author 12) contains an advisory or disclosure page; there is no SECURITY.md and no GitHub advisory; and the client is closed source. The sharpest tell is the vendor's own FAQ telling Ledger users to "make sure that Blind Signing is enabled in Ledger Live" — that turns the paired device's screen into a hash and leaves the undocumented Solflare screen as the only human-readable view of what you are signing. Where Solflare is genuinely strong is the exit: seed and per-account private key both export in printed steps on extension and mobile, no login exists, and "Any Solana recovery phrase works, regardless of which wallet it was created in." Buy the custody model, not the security assurance.

FactTrust WalletSolflare
PricingSnapshotThe wallet is free: "Yes. Trust Wallet is free to download and use on iOS, Android and as a browser extension. Network and service fees apply to transactions such as swaps or buying crypto, and they are shown before you confirm." (FAQ answer in the structured data of trustwallet.com, fetched 28 October 2026). No Trust Wallet swap rate is published on any vendor page loaded on 28 October 2026 — the homepage fee sentence recorded in August, which stated separate stablecoin and other-token swap rates, is gone — and the vendor's own statements now conflict. The swap page says "No, Trust Wallet does not charge any additional service fees for swaps. Any swap fees incurred by users for swapping would be network gas fees and third-party provider fees, which are independent of Trust Wallet." (trustwallet.com/swap, fetched 28 October 2026), and the help centre repeats "Trust Wallet does not charge a service fee - fees shown are from the routing protocol and the underlying networks." (support.trustwallet.com/en/articles/717169-how-to-perform-cross-chain-swaps-in-trust-wallet, fetched 28 October 2026). Yet a campaign post dated 27 August 2026 says "When you swap one eligible stablecoin for another on the same chain, the Trust Wallet swap fee is 0%" and "Each of those swaps normally carries a fee." (trustwallet.com/blog/campaigns/swap-selected-stablecoins-with-0-fees-on-trust-wallet), and a second, dated 16 September 2026, offers "0% Trust Wallet swap fees" on eligible staked and wrapped pairs (trustwallet.com/blog/campaigns/wap-staked-assets-with-0-fees-on-trust-wallet). Read the fee line on the in-app quote; the vendor publishes no percentage.No price is published for the wallet software in the body copy of any solflare.com page, but the vendor calls it free in the head of the page cited here: solflare.com/download/ carries <title>Download Solflare: Free Solana Wallet Extension & Mobile App</title> and <meta name="description" content="Download Solflare, the free Solana wallet browser extension and mobile app. Trade, stake and store crypto on Chrome, Firefox, iOS & Android."> (both re-read 28 October 2026). The page's visible commercial line is "Get the Solflare browser extension to trade, stake, and hold Solana with full self-custody in seconds." The only in-wallet fee mechanic the vendor publishes is a network-fee fallback, not a Solflare take: help.solflare.com/en/articles/9271735-understanding-transaction-fees-on-solana (re-read 28 October 2026) states "Gasless Send: If you try to send a token but don't have enough SOL to cover the network fee, Solflare automatically covers it for you. The fee is simply deducted from the token you're sending instead." — no Solflare swap or trading fee percentage appears in that article. Real prices exist only for adjacent products: the Shield hardware card, where solflare.com/hardware-wallet/ (fetched 28 October 2026) renders "Order Origin $49" while its carousel shows Signature variants at "$59", "$69" and "$79" and a customised "Unique" card at "$79". The Solflare Card's FX-fee article (help.solflare.com/en/articles/12890985) now returns HTTP 404, and the card is paused: "Solflare Cards, both virtual and physical, have temporarily stopped working." (help.solflare.com/en/articles/17335647-solflare-card-pauses-july-28th-and-returns-with-apple-pay-higher-limits-and-cashback, read 28 October 2026), so no card price is carried.

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.
