Hot wallet
MetaMask vs Solflare
Same kind of product, two profiles. Affiliate status is not how this page is ordered.
MetaMask
MetaMask is a self-custody wallet aimed at Ethereum and other EVM networks. Network fees are paid to the chain, not to MetaMask. Any in-wallet swap fee was not re-verified, so it is not quoted here.
Solflare
Solflare is a Solana hot wallet and a direct alternative to Phantom. Staking and swap fees were not verified.
