An article comparing the most popular Lightning wallets. From simplest to the most feature-rich ones.

Great guide.

Here's my attempt at copy/pasting into a TLDR table (cover your eyes if reading on mobile):

App	Non Custodial	On-chain	LN Address	Open Source	Audience
WoS	❌	✅	✅	❌	Beginners
Blink	❌	✅	✅	✅	Beginners
Coin OS	❌	✅	✅	✅	Beginners
Alby	✅	✅	✅	✅	Beginners / Intermediate
Phoenix	✅	✅	❌	✅	Intermediate
Mutiny	✅	✅	❌	✅	Intermediate
Zeus	✅	✅	✅	✅	Intermediate
Valet	✅	✅	❌	✅	Intermediate
Blixt	✅	✅	❌	✅	Intermediate

Here is it in one image. Each app was tested and positioned in a specific place, for its functionalities and powers. Don't believe me? Try for yourself ALL OF THEM for at least 1 month. Then we can talk.

Alby you can connect multiple nodes and accounts. Yes, it can be custodial and non-custodial. You lack of knowledge about Alby is disturbing...

Blixt supports LNaddress, get your table right

damn right, and is self-custodial too, I can say the best one

It's sad that the various forks of SBW (Valet, OBW) keep on dying. I like the SBW experience.

Fixing the Blixt LN address thing. Thanks for the heads up.

Abby does offer self custody, so saying that it is a custodial solution would be unfair towards the project. The article elaborates on this.

I know that Valet is working well now and many people in our community (including the devs themselves) are actively using it. Yes, no updates lately, but the app is perfectly functional.
