Trezor Suite and the Trezor hardware wallets are 100% open source — anyone can inspect the code. Ledger's firmware is closed-source, which means you have to trust their implementation.
Trezor also does not have a cloud seed backup feature (which Ledger Recover received significant criticism for). Your seed stays offline and private with Trezor.
Ledger Live supports 5,500+ cryptocurrencies vs Trezor Suite's 1,000+. If you hold obscure altcoins, Ledger may have better coverage. However, Trezor Suite covers all major coins including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and all ERC-20 tokens.
Trezor Suite has a cleaner, more intuitive interface. The onboarding process is simpler and the dashboard is easy to navigate even for beginners. See our full Trezor Suite guide.
