Ledger vs Trezor: every current model compared
Updated 2026-10-22 · listed A to Z, not ranked
Ledger and Trezor both make hardware wallets: small devices that keep your private keys offline and ask you to confirm each transaction on the device. Below are the models each company sells today, with prices from their own US stores and specs from their own product pages.
We list models A to Z by name. We don’t pick a winner: which one suits you depends on how you use crypto (see “How to choose” below).

How we checked: Prices are the USD prices in the structured product data on shop.ledger.com and trezor.io on Oct 22, 2026 (US store, before tax and shipping). Specs are quoted from the same product and comparison pages. Prices and bundles change often, so check the store before you buy.
The main differences
- Open source. Trezor describes its security as open source: public code anyone can review. Ledger devices run Ledger OS on a certified Secure Element chip; check Ledger’s own documentation for which parts are published.
- Backups. Trezor supports 12, 20 and 24-word backups and multi-share backup on all three Safe models. Ledger Flex, Nano Gen5 and Stax include a Ledger Recovery Key (an NFC card), and Ledger offers an optional paid recovery service, Ledger Recover.
- Phones. Every Ledger with Bluetooth works with iPhone; the Nano S Plus does not. Trezor Safe 7 has full iOS support; Safe 3 and Safe 5 have limited iOS support.
- Price range. Trezor’s range is $59 to $249; Ledger’s is $69 to $399 on Oct 22, 2026. Ledger also shows a new device, Ledger Atom, with no price listed when we checked.
How to choose
- Lowest cost, desktop use: compare Trezor Safe 3 ($59) and Ledger Nano S Plus ($69).
- Mostly on an iPhone: look at Bluetooth models: Ledger Nano X, Nano Gen5, Flex, Stax, or Trezor Safe 7.
- Want to read the code: Trezor’s open-source approach is the deciding factor for many buyers.
- Bigger screen for reading transactions: Ledger Stax (3.7"), Ledger Flex and Nano Gen5 (2.8"), Trezor Safe 7 (2.5").
Buy only from the official store or an authorized reseller, and never type your recovery phrase into a computer or phone.
Hardware wallets and AI agents
A hardware wallet is for keys you hold yourself. AI agents that pay for APIs with x402 usually use a separate hot wallet with a small USDC balance, so a bug or a bad prompt can’t reach your savings. See how to pay for an API with USDC.
