56 Hardware Wallets, compared feature by feature

[thebitcoinhole]

Good point. Given that the price is different, I added a new column for the Metal variant. Thanks !!!

Another hardware wallet Era was recently released and I don't see it on TheBitcoinHole website.
I think this is interesting competition for currently established hardware wallets, and I want to see someone doing honest review and testing of Era.
I think 2025 is going to be the year of Great Airgapped Wallet Battle

Working on it.

Working on it.

Cool.
Maybe you should also consider adding and/or updating something for Keystone 3 pro, since now they have 3 options for firmware,
BTC-Only, Multi-Coin, and they recently added privacy oriented Cypherpunk firmware that supports Bitcoin and privacy coins like Monero.

PS
Do you by any chance know any bitcoin wallets that work for smartwatches, or bitcoin hardware wallet in watch format?

I think I don't need to update the website, because the website is bitcoin oriented, and the important firmware is the bitcoin-only one. The new one is similar to the altcoin firmware for the website focus.

I don't know any smartwatch wallet. I think it would be a very bad idea, like the Tangem Ring.

No problem, but than why do you have separate devices listed for multi-coin Trezor Safe 3, Trezor Safe 5 and Bitbox multi-coin?
In Keystone information you listed both Altcoins and Bitcoin-Only with YES, that can be confusing.
I don't care about bunch of altcoins, but people should know they can use Keystone with Bitcoin-only firmware if they want.
Maybe Keystone should also sell separate Keystone Bitcoin device directly preloaded with bitcoin-only firmware and design.

Trezor and Bitbox sell BTC only devices as a different product. Keystone only sell one variant and then you can pick the firmware to install. That's the difference. The website is displaying a column per physical device, not per firmware variant.
On the firmware section you can see if the device supports a btc only firmware. The table doesn't have support to display all the firmware variants, and for I prefer to do not support that, because I am focusing on btc only.

SecuX recently announced its latest hardware wallet: SecuX W20C-Plus
^{- It costs the same as its older brother (SecuX W20), but it's now using "USB Type-C" and it's worth noting that this one comes with two pieces of X-SEED backup plate & a single engraver.}

CoolWallet finally released a new product: CoolWallet Go
^{- It comes with "CC EAL6+ Secure Chip" and for just $39, we can get a lifetime warranty (still not sure about its limitations).}

[thebitcoinhole]

Added:
- SecuX W10C-Plus
- SecuX W20C-Plus
- CoolWallet Go
- Era Wallet

Earlier in the month, OneKey released a battery-free version of OneKey Classic 1S and they're calling it "OneKey Classic 1S Pure".
^{- Apart from being $20 cheaper and lighter due to a lack of a battery, there's no difference between the two.}

Last month, ELLIPAL released "X Card Cold Wallet" for $79 ^{[pre-order price is $69]}.
^{- Apart from the card itself, I believe the package comes with another device that'll handle the offline generation of the seed phrase.}

How about adding Keycard and Keycard Shell hardware wallet?
They created a topic in forum few weeks ago and they are offering interesting open source products, especially Keycard Shell that recently started pre-order sale:
https://keycard.tech/keycard
https://keycard.tech/keycard-shell

Interesting origin story for Keystone Shell, from concept to prototype:

@thebitcoinhole
CoolBitX discontinued their CoolWallet S HW a few days ago ^[source].
^{- In addition to that, those who have used their CoolWallet S devices for more than the duration of its warranty are qualified for their trade-in program (they can receive a 40% discount code to upgrade their HW to the Pro variant).}

[dkbit98]

OP Can you consider adding information for number of seed phrases that can be stored in each hardware wallet?
For example Keystone HW can store up to 3 seed phrases, Era Wallet can store up to 10 seed phrases, etc.

Maybe they are planing to release some new product like they hinted on their twitter post.
Anyway, I think we are going to see a lot more discontinued hardware wallets in near future.

There is a "Multiple Private Keys" section where you can see that information

You have that right, 100%.  Most HW wallets are pure crap, and that assessment is just from me browsing Amazon and bitcointalk.  I'm guessing there will come a day when people figure out that they can build their own or don't really need to shell out money for a device that may or may not be secure.  That day might be a long time coming, but I'm confident it will arrive just like the day when people wake up and come to the realization that the thousands of altcoins on the market are mostly scams designed to enrich the coins' "devs".

I'm getting more curmudgeonly and pessimistic as the years pass--I can't imagine what my attitude is going to be in about 5 years or so.

Even if there are a lot of crappy hardware wallets, I cannot see normies or even grandmas wanting to build their own.. and yeah sure there could be some universally purposed kinds of devices that might be repurposed to use as a hardware wallet, yet there still seems to be a dynamic in which there is going to continue to be a market for hardware wallets... Otherwise, yeah we are using devices that we hold for other purposes as our hardware wallets like our phones, computers and/or other digital assistant devices (which technically would be software wallets, no?)

[dkbit98]

There is section like you said, but it is only written YES or NO, so we don't know exact numbers of seeds that can be stored devices, or at least I couldn't find that information.

Most HW wallets are pure crap

I never said that most hardware wallets are crap, and majority of discontinued devices that are now useless are mostly coming from ledger and coldcard, that are not even open source.
Hardware wallets should work more on adding encrypted backups, that are much more important for keeping backup safe and well protected.

In the cases where I found the maximum amount of private keys supported, I display it like "YES (3)". For example, Keystone 3 Pro.

I think we are talking about two different things, and I was talking about multiple seed phrases, not about multiple private keys.
If I am not mistaken Coldcard devices can only store one seed phrase at the time.
Keystone can store 3 seed phrases in the same time on one device, and Era up to 10 seed phrases.
Maybe you wanted to combine multiple private keys and multiple seed phrases into one category, but this can create confusion.
