[^1]: META : Most Effective Tactics Available (yes i'm a gamer). In Bitcoin context, this is a comparison between various apps to find (at least at the surface level) the best app or service within it's own category.
[^2]: I didn't conduct testing on all of these apps listed, all of the informations provided are obtained via documentation (i'd be crazy to regularly test all of these lmao).
