Exodus vs Trust Wallet, what is the difference?

Exodus vs Trust Wallet is a comparison of two widely used self-custody wallets that hold many coins in one app. In both, you control the keys, and every transfer pays a network fee to the blockchain. The differences are in where each app runs, how many networks it covers, how swaps are priced and what each has done for app connections. This page explains the differences and does not pick one.

Exodus wallet vs Trust Wallet, what are the main differences?

Exodus is known for its desktop app as well as its phone app. As of October 2026, its help pages say it supports more than 50 networks, with custom tokens on popular ones. Our guide on what is Exodus wallet covers how it works and its current apps.

Trust Wallet describes itself as mobile-first, with iOS and Android apps plus a browser extension.

What are the fees for Exodus vs Trust Wallet?

Neither wallet adds a fee of its own to send or receive. Exodus says the whole network fee goes to the blockchain's miners or validators and that receiving is free. Trust Wallet says its app is free to use, with network and service fees applying.

Swaps are where they differ:

• Exodus sends your coins to third-party exchange providers inside the app, and the swapped coins return to your wallet. Providers may widen the spread when markets are volatile or a token has thin liquidity. Exodus says most swaps need no identity check.
• Trust Wallet routes swaps through decentralized exchanges and aggregators. Its guide says any provider fee is built into the quoted amount you receive, shown with the network fee and slippage setting before you sign.

In both, the final quote is the number to compare.

Exodus or Trust Wallet, how do they handle security?

Trust Wallet's browser extension had a serious incident. On December 24, 2025, a malicious version 2.68 was published to the Chrome Web Store. Trust Wallet says 2,520 addresses were drained, with about $8.5 million tied to attacker addresses, that mobile app users were not affected, and that it chose to reimburse affected users.

How do Exodus, Trust Wallet and MetaMask compare?

MetaMask is the third wallet often weighed against these two. Its support page lists a 0.875% MetaMask fee on swaps. That is a visible percentage, unlike the provider spreads and built-in fees described above. The MetaMask vs Exodus and MetaMask vs Trust Wallet guides cover networks, app connections and security for those pairings.
