A real comparison a fair look at both sides, and a four-step guide to switching wallets. We'll cover who wins on features, where MetaMask still holds its own, and how to make the move if it's right for you.
Download Trust WalletMetaMask added Bitcoin and Solana support in late 2025 — eight years after Trust Wallet natively supported both. TON, Cosmos, and most non-EVM chains remain unsupported. Trust Wallet covers 100+ blockchains natively with no KYC, $0 on staking, buying, sending, and receiving, and swap fees included in the rate — not added on top like MetaMask's explicit 0.875%. With 220M+ users versus MetaMask's 30M, Trust Wallet's DApp ecosystem and community support are substantially larger.
Trust Wallet charges $0 on staking, buying, sending, and receiving — you only pay the gas the blockchain requires. Swap fees are included in the exchange rate and shown in full before you confirm. No subscription fees, no account fees, no hidden charges.
Since 2017, Trust Wallet has grown into the #1 self-custody wallet globally, with 220 million+ downloads and over $30 billion in user asset balances. 1 in 3 crypto holders use Trust Wallet — more than any other self-custody wallet.
Trust Wallet is the first crypto wallet to achieve ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and ISO/IEC 27701:2019 certifications for security and privacy. Its open-source Wallet Core library powers the cryptographic foundation – auditable by anyone, trusted by millions.
MetaMask built its reputation on Ethereum, and that history is real. Its browser extension is broadly supported across EVM dApps, and many Ethereum DeFi protocols integrated MetaMask early — giving it a head start in EVM ecosystem compatibility. For desktop users whose activity is entirely within EVM chains and who prefer a browser-native workflow, that institutional familiarity has practical value.
