MetaMask lists Polygon among its 17 built-in networks, so you do not need to add an RPC by hand. On Polygon PoS, gas is paid in POL and blocks finalize in 2 to 5 seconds, and the wallet's own swap fee is a separate cost: from 0.67% on Zerion to up to 1% on Coinbase Wallet.
Quick answer
MetaMask is the best wallet for Polygon: Polygon is built in and it is the wallet most EVM dApps test first. Pick Coinbase Wallet for easy transfers from a Coinbase account, and Zerion for a lower swap fee.

How to choose
01
Hold some POL
Gas on Polygon PoS is paid in POL. Keep a small POL balance before you send tokens.
02
Check the network on deposits
Some exchanges, such as Gemini, do not accept tokens sent over Polygon. Confirm the network before you withdraw to one.
03
Compare swap fees
Wallet swap fees range from 0.67% to 1% here; a DEX on Polygon may be cheaper for larger trades.
