On this page you will find a list of the best bitcoin wallets, put into a comparison table to highlight their various different features and make it as easy as possible for you to compare them to find the best one for you.

There is a huge variety of different wallets available for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, and many different services of each type. If you would like to learn more about the different terminology and the details of various different services then please take a little time to browse out wallet tag, where you will find a range of articles with more being added all the time. One thing which probably does need explaining here, however, is that a ‘true wallet’ refers to software which allows users to retain control over their private keys, whereas an ‘account service’ is when your keys are stored and controlled on central servers and you simply manage your account from your app.

For this comparison table I have picked out a small selection of the best services, rather than trying to list everything – which would create a huge, cumbersome and difficult to read table. I will add more over time, but I will keep it down to just services offering high quality services or features that you won’t find elsewhere.
