Hi,
I have heard Xapo and Coinbase are the two best online wallets. I just need to know if you were to choose between them, which one you will go for and why?
You can also share good and bad experiences with both wallets so it can help us decide which one to use.
Thanks

If you like to gamble with your Bitcoin don't use Coinbase. They blocking people for gambling like you can read on this forum.

What are you going to use it for? Just as a wallet or as an exchange because both of them offer the exchange service, i have been used coinbase only as a wallet and it works fine, i also use their mobile app on the go so it fits my needs.

I'm not using coinbase and xapo anymore, my coinbase account is blocked because I use it for gambling (I was not aware of their rules) and I used xapo a year ago when I started to learn and earn bitcoin from faucet. Now, I prefer to use offline wallet. My suggestion is that if you are going to keep many btc, so its better to use offline wallet such as multibit or bitcoincore.

If you ask the Coinbase and Xapo I feel Xapo but if you are not a gambler Coinbase also nice actually depends on your needs people have already explained that Coinbase prohibited to be used for gambling. If you use it to store large amounts of bitcoin should not use these two wallet because they have access to your account or your money.

First of all they're not online wallets, they're wallet service providers, there's a difference, with a wallet you'd have the private keys, both Xapo and Coinbase don't give you your private keys, so if for some reason their site is offline, you wouldn't be able to access your funds. If you must use an online wallet then Bitgo might be a safer choice, although I'd recommend you to not use any web-wallets but use a desktop one like electrum/multibit/core etc.

Both are terrible shitcoin pumpers. I would avoid both. And they are not wallets anyway.

I'm not suggest you to use both for your wallet, they basically is exchange service, just remember Mt.gox case, don't keep your bitcoin on exchange service. I better to use cold wallet which you can have your own private keys.

nobody can answer your question better than yourself. it is up to you which one to choose considering your needs. go to their "Terms of Service" and read their rules and see if it fits your needs. for example if you want to use Coinbase as a wallet to spend on gambling sites you will get banned according to their ToS

Depends on the services in which you are interested use them, I will suggest for xapo, in xapo because of instant transaction other Xapo accounts with no time and the other thing is that you can easily use it for gambling with no fee to send.

But Coinbase is much better and reliable wallet for bitcoin, a large number of community are using coinbase and they are satisfied with it. That is why I have kept the Coinbase as my main wallet.

Coinbase would be safer, and Xapo is mainly for faucet farmers. Instant deposits from faucets, etc. They support faucet farmers by using free tx fees, because it takes an hour simply to get 0.0002

I use xapo, it easy to use and there is no fees when u send coins. I never had serious problems with xapo, they can be slow sometimes but for me its nothing unusual. Coinbase is safer wallet in my opinion, but for gambling xapo is better. U can transfer money without paying taxes all the time. Well have one wallet for storing and one for playing is best option in my opinion.

Have never used both because I prefer MyCelium over them. I've heard of a lot of bad remarks about both of them too - mostly Xapo. I'd suggest you to go with Coinbase because it have more reputation among Bitcoiners. I'd suggest you to go with MyCelium if you want a portable and fast wallet. Check out MultiBit if you don't mind having a downloaded wallet which will be more secure.

So sad! This profile does not appear as the #1 result (on anonymous) Google searches anymore.

Gonna put this on my resume if I ever join a cryptocurrency/blockchain industry!

I think xapo is more of a novelity bitcoin wallet as if you see their website it is kind of like a gamer site. And the ceo puts up messages as updates to users about playing mobile app games which you don't see on coinbase. So it is up to your preference if you want serious of a gaming type site to hold your coins.

As per others replies it would be depend on how you gonna use it, for me both of them works if you'll gonna use it as a temp storage of your coin but if you gonna store your coin for good much better not to use web based wallet, and if you a faucet lovers and a gambler much better to use xapo because coinbase will banned you if found out that you are using it for gambling.
You always have option you can also have it both and try to use it and observed which is which mate. good luck to you.
