Compare Alby with alternatives
Alby vs Zeus
Zeus is an open-source mobile Lightning wallet that connects directly to a node you already run, rather than offering a hosted or self-hosted hub.
Alby vs BlueWallet
BlueWallet is an open-source mobile Bitcoin and Lightning wallet with multisig support, and its Lightning features work best when paired with your own node.
Alby vs Valet
Valet runs a Lightning node directly on an Android phone with keys encrypted on the device, but it is Android only and channels need more care.
Alby vs Phoenix Wallet
Phoenix Wallet is a self-custodial mobile Lightning wallet that manages channels automatically, so there is no node to host, but it has no desktop or web version.
Alby vs Wallet of Satoshi
Wallet of Satoshi offers a simple closed-source mobile app for small Lightning payments, with no self-hosting option and no desktop version.
Alby vs Muun
Muun is an open-source mobile wallet that uses submarine swaps for Lightning payments without manual channel management, though swap fees can apply.
Alby vs MyNode
MyNode runs a full Bitcoin and Lightning node from a web interface with bundled apps, but needs dedicated hardware and puts some features in a paid Premium edition.
