We compared six Rainbow alternatives on chains, custody, fees and security, and noted where each one falls short of Rainbow.
No project pays to be listed. How we rank
The closest Rainbow alternative is Rabby, an EVM wallet with a mobile app that publishes a 0.25% fee on in-app swaps, while Rainbow shows its fee only in the app. Below are six Rainbow alternatives compared on chains, swap fees, security features and platforms.
Rainbow is a mobile-first, open-source Ethereum wallet focused on L2 networks, with clear views of tokens and NFTs. It runs on iOS and Android and as a browser extension, and it shows its swap fee in the app before each swap but publishes no fixed rate. See the full Rainbow profile →
Rainbow shows its fee on the review screen before each swap, but its support pages state no fixed rate (checked Sep 26, 2026). Rabby publishes 0.25%, and Zerion 0.67%.
Rainbow has no Solana support. If you hold SOL or Bitcoin, Phantom covers both next to Ethereum in one mobile app.
Rainbow is built for the phone. If you use DeFi on a computer, Rabby adds a desktop app and a balance-change preview before every signature.
| Name | Best for | Custody | Chains | Swap fee | US availability |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rainbow ORIGINAL | Baseline | Self-custody | Ethereum and L2s | Shown in the app before each swap; no fixed rate published | Yes |
| Rabby | DeFi on EVM networks | Self-custody | EVM networks | 0.25% | Yes |
| Zerion | Tracking DeFi positions | Self-custody | EVM and Solana | 0.67% (0.25% with Premium) | Yes |
| MetaMask | EVM dApps | Self-custody | EVM networks, Solana, Bitcoin, Tron | 0.875% | Yes |
| Phantom | Solana plus EVM | Self-custody | Solana, EVM, Sui, Bitcoin | 0.85% | Yes |
| Trust Wallet | Mobile, many chains | Self-custody | EVM and many non-EVM chains | Not verified | Yes |
| Coinbase Wallet | Coinbase exchange users | Self-custody | EVM, Solana and Bitcoin | Up to 1%, plus DEX aggregator and network fees | Yes |
Swap fee: The wallet’s own fee on in-app swaps, excluding network gas. US availability: Listed in the US App Store. “Not verified” means we have not yet checked the value against the project’s own documentation.
An EVM wallet from the DeBank team that previews the balance change before every signature and switches networks for you, with a 0.25% swap fee. Limitation: EVM only, and fewer dApps name it in their docs.
A mobile and extension wallet built around a portfolio view of tokens and DeFi positions on EVM networks and Solana. Limitation: lower fees need a paid Premium plan.
The default EVM wallet on extension and mobile, with Solana accounts added in 2025. Limitation: it charges a 0.875% swap fee.
A mobile and extension wallet that started on Solana and now covers Ethereum, Base, Polygon, Sui and Bitcoin, with scam-token warnings. Limitation: a 0.85% swap fee, and custom EVM networks cannot be added.
Mobile-first like Rainbow, but for EVM and many non-EVM chains, with in-app staking for some coins. Limitation: its swap fee is not stated as one clear rate.
A self-custody wallet from Coinbase for EVM networks and Solana, with a passkey sign-in option. Limitation: its swap fee is up to 1%, and DEX aggregator fees come on top.
For lower swap fees on EVM: Rabby. For a portfolio view across EVM and Solana: Zerion. For the widest dApp support: MetaMask.
If you swap or bridge often, Rabby is the clearest upgrade: a published 0.25% fee, plus a balance-change preview before every signature. If you want to track DeFi positions, Zerion is built for that. If you need Solana, Phantom keeps a phone-friendly app with more chains.
