Phantom alternatives: 8 apps ranked by verified data

Facts checked Nov 8, 2026AppBreakup editorialHow we rankAll crypto wallets

Top picks

Common reasons people leave Phantom: closed source, unlike wallets such as Rabby or Sparrow, and in-app swaps and trades carry fees on top of network costs. We ranked 8 alternatives by how directly each one replaces Phantom, then by reviews, real visits and how recently each app's facts were checked against its own website. Ledger Wallet currently ranks first.
