About

Sparrow is a Bitcoin wallet for those who value financial self-sovereignty. Sparrow’s emphasis is on security, privacy and usability. Sparrow does not hide information from you, on the contrary it attempts to provide as much detail as possible about your transactions and UTXOs, but in a way that is manageable and usable. Sparrow supports all the features you would expect from a modern Bitcoin wallet. Full support for the single sig and multisig wallets on common script types. A range of connection options: Public servers, Bitcoin Core and private Electrum servers. Standards-based including full PSBT support. Support for all common hardware wallets in USB and air-gapped modes. Full coin and fee control with comprehensive coin selection. Labeling of all transactions, inputs and outputs. Lightweight and multi platform. Payjoin support, built in Tor, with Testnet, regtest and signet support. However, Sparrow is also unique in that it contains a fully featured transaction editor.

About

Wasabi is an open-source, non-custodial, privacy-focused Bitcoin wallet for desktop, that implements trustless CoinJoin. Wasabi creates trustless CoinJoin transactions over the Tor anonymity network. The CoinJoin coordinator cannot steal from, nor breach the privacy of the participants. Wasabi's coinjoin implementation is trustless by design. The participants do not need to trust each other or any third party. Both the sending address (the coinjoin input) and the receiving address (the coinjoin output) are controlled by your own private keys. Wasabi merely coordinates the process of combining the inputs of the participants into one single transaction, but the wallet can neither steal your coins, nor figure out which outputs belong to which inputs. Not your keys, not your bitcoin. With Wasabi, you are always in full control of your private and public keys, you never share them with any third party.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Moving on from Electrum. The Sparrow UI and UX is so much better and cleaner. I've setup my Coldcard with it and all transactions show up.
  • Much prefer using this to the native Trezor software wallet. Also works with cold card and other seed signers. Great ux. Integrated coinjoin.
  • I mean, what's not to like? Sparrow suits you perfectly for almost every use case. Software only Wallet? Check. HW wallet integration? Check. Multi Sig? Check. Whirlpool Mixing for regaining financial privacy? Check. Active Development and Community? Check. Even if you are a beginner and use only a fraction of the functionality sparrow offers, sparrow is ready to do, what you will want to do at every stage of your knowledge curve. In addition to all that, Sparrow is a remarkable learning environment. There are numerous guides (either video or text) available for free, that teach you what you want to know, when you are ready.
  • Sparrow is simply the best. It's free, open source, does everything, and the support community on Telegram is amazing.
  • At the time of writing, Sparrow wallet is easily the best Desktop Bitcoin Wallet around, by a wide margin. It can do anything from managing a regular Bitcoin hot-wallet, to complicated multisig setups and cold storage solutions. They even added the brand new SeedQR format to make it compatible with the most state of the art DIY-bitcoin-signing-device. Also (to my knowledge) Sparrow is the only other Wallet with a working integration of Samourai's Whirlpool, so Sparrow actively helps users in preserving their privacy. It's compatible with Bitcoin-Core, Electrum-server and many more, so using it with your own Node is easy (and very much recommended). Oh, did I mention you can import an electrum wallet file directly into Sparrow (yes, even encrypted ones). What's not to like?

Cons

  • None so far. I've only used this for a couple of days but so far, so good.
  • Wish it scanned more derivation paths automatically.
  • UI can look a little retro to some, but the UX of sparrow has no equal to date. I'm certain, that the UI Design will get an update, as time goes on.
  • There is nothing negative about Sparrow. Self custody (and therefore self sovereignty) requires responsibility.
  • At first, I was intimidated by the amount of information Sparrow is showing, but only until I understood what I'm seeing. Then I quickly realized that every Wallet should display tx infos this way.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Easy to setup. Get the advantage of privacy from the bitcoin-core fullnode + privacy from using CoinJoin. The other platforms don't use CoinJoin feature.

Cons

  • The CoinJoins can sometimes make the transactions take twice as long. Depending on how much you decide to mix it.
