Pros and cons
ELLIPAL
Pros
- Coin list of from 10,000 covers a long tail of tokens beyond the majors.
- self custody keeps the keys on the device, so the holder stays in control of the balance.
- Signing over nfc alone means there is no cable to carry or mis-seat.
Cons
- Recovery rests on a single seed phrase, so one lost sheet costs the whole balance.
- Support runs on email, help centre and community only, with no live chat or phone line listed.
- One link, nfc, means phone compatibility decides whether the device works at all.
Exodus
Pros
- Self-custody, so the keys and the balance stay with you: self custody.
- Software rather than hardware, so it runs on the devices you already use: software.
- Coin coverage of from 1,000,000, spanning major assets and the long tail alike.
Cons
- Support runs on help centre, chat and community only, with no phone line among them.
- A seed backup concentrates the balance behind a single phrase.
- Software wallets keep keys on a device you control, where Trezor is a hardware wallet.

Questions about each
ELLIPAL
What does the ELLIPAL Titan cost?+
The device is priced at €54 to €149. On price it sits 102 of 120 brands compared, which puts it towards the dearer end of the set. The money is spent when you buy the unit rather than added over time.
Does ELLIPAL hold my coins for me?+
The wallet is self custody, so keys are created and kept on the hardware and no provider holds them. That position is set out in the product terms and repeated in the feature list, which makes the trade-off plain: recovery planning stays with the holder.
Exodus
Who runs Exodus?+
Exodus is run by Exodus Movement, Inc., a company founded in 2015. It builds the wallet as a software product, so the company ships app updates rather than a device. Support and documentation sit with the same company.
Does Exodus hold my coins for me?+
No. Exodus is self-custody: self custody, and that is the feature it is built around: self custody. Keys stay with you, so a lost seed or a failed device falls to you to recover, and no outside party steps in to restore a balance.
