Questions about each
Blockstream Jade
How much does a Jade wallet cost?+
Jade is sold at $99.99 to $169.99. That is a single device cost rather than a subscription, and nothing is charged on the account afterwards. Trezor is priced at $79, so Jade sits at the pricier end of the hardware wallet range.
Which coins can I hold on a Jade wallet?+
Jade is built around Bitcoin, and the coin list is short at 2. That focus suits a device that keeps keys offline, but it rules Jade out if you want one box to hold many assets.
Keystone
What does a Keystone hardware wallet cost?+
The device is priced at $149, a one off purchase. As a hardware wallet it keeps working offline, with no subscription attached to holding. A Trezor device sits at $79, so Keystone asks for more at the checkout.
Who holds the coins on Keystone?+
Custody is self custody, so the keys stay with the holder and never sit with a company. If the device is lost, recovery depends on the backup, and the options listed are seed and shamir. Nothing sits with a third party to claim back.
