Looking for apps like MetaMask? Below are six MetaMask alternatives and competitors, from EVM browser extensions to mobile multichain wallets, compared on supported chains, custody, security features and platforms. Start with the part of MetaMask you want to replace: the extension, the mobile app or the chain coverage.

Key takeaways

  1. 01Rabby — best for DeFi users: simulates each transaction before you sign.
  2. 02Phantom — best for Solana users: covers Solana, Ethereum, Base, Polygon, Sui and Bitcoin in one app.
  3. 03Trust Wallet — best for mobile-first use: one mobile app for EVM and many non-EVM chains.
  4. 04Coinbase Wallet — best for Coinbase users: easy transfers from a Coinbase exchange account.
  5. Switching? Import your seed phrase only into the official app from the developer’s site, never into a web form.

What is MetaMask?

MetaMask is a self-custody wallet from Consensys, available as a browser extension and a mobile app. It is the wallet most EVM dApps test against first, and it added Solana accounts in 2025. See the full MetaMask profile →

How we picked these alternatives

  1. 01Supported chains — EVM, Solana, Bitcoin and others, from each wallet’s own documentation.
  2. 02Custody — who controls the keys. Every pick on this list is self-custody.
  3. 03Swap fee — the wallet’s own fee on in-app swaps, from its fee page, with the date we checked it.
  4. 04Security features — transaction preview, scam warnings, open-source code.
  5. 05US availability — whether the app is listed in the US App Store, with the date we checked it.
  6. 06Platforms — browser extension, iOS, Android, desktop app.

Why look for a MetaMask alternative?

01

Fees on in-app swaps

MetaMask adds its own service fee on top of network gas for swaps made inside the wallet. If you swap often, compare that fee with the wallet you are moving to, or swap directly on a DEX.

02

EVM-first design

MetaMask grew up on Ethereum-style networks. It added Solana accounts in 2025, but if most of your assets live on Solana or Bitcoin, a wallet built for those chains is usually smoother.

03

Different everyday needs

MetaMask is an all-purpose wallet. Some people want a portfolio view of DeFi positions, a phone-first app, or a direct link to an exchange account, and a wallet built for that one job is simpler to use.

How to move from MetaMask safely

  1. Write your MetaMask seed phrase on paper and check every word.
  2. Install the new wallet only from its official site or app store listing.
  3. Create a new wallet with a fresh seed phrase instead of importing the old one.
  4. Send a small test amount from MetaMask to the new address, then the rest.
  5. Revoke old token approvals from MetaMask with a revoke tool before you stop using it.

MetaMask alternatives: FAQ

What is the best MetaMask alternative?

For most EVM users, Rabby: it works with the same dApps, runs risk checks before you sign and charges a lower swap fee. For Solana-first users, Phantom.

Is Rabby better than MetaMask?

For DeFi on EVM networks, often yes: its in-app swap fee is 0.25% against MetaMask’s 0.875%, and it switches networks for you. MetaMask is still the wallet most dApps test against first.

Is there a MetaMask alternative for Solana?

Yes. Phantom was built for Solana and also covers Ethereum and Bitcoin. MetaMask added Solana accounts in 2025, but Phantom has deeper Solana dApp support.

Can I use my MetaMask seed phrase in another wallet?

Yes, most wallets on this list import a standard 12- or 24-word phrase. Only do it in the official app, and consider moving funds to a new phrase afterwards.

Which MetaMask alternative works best on mobile?

Trust Wallet and Rainbow are built mobile-first. Trust Wallet covers more chains; Rainbow is simpler on Ethereum L2s.
