Pros and cons, side by side

Ledger Nano S Plus

What works

Cheapest current Ledger at $59 on Ledger's own store
Same ST33K1M5 secure element, certified to CC EAL6+, as the $399 Stax
Far more coin app storage than the original Nano S it replaced
No Bluetooth and no battery, so there is no radio attack surface and nothing to wear out

What to watch

No iOS support: Ledger's system requirements list Windows, macOS, Ubuntu and Android only
Cable only, so you cannot sign from a phone without plugging in
The 128 x 64 pixel screen turns checking a long address into a multi step scroll
Closed source firmware, unlike Trezor and BitBox

Trezor Safe 3

What works

EAL6+ certified secure element and fully open source firmware at $59
PIN and passphrase are typed on the device, never on a possibly compromised computer
Multi-share (Shamir) backup and FIDO2 two factor support are built in
A Bitcoin-only edition is sold alongside the multi coin version

What to watch

Two buttons and a 0.96 inch monochrome screen make checking a long address slower than on a touchscreen
iOS is view only: no setup, sending or device management from an iPhone
SecurityWeek reported in August 2026 that a breach at fulfilment partner ShipMonk exposed about 14,000 customers' shipping details
Trezor publishes no list of countries it ships to, only a checkout drop-down
