What differs, and who it matters to
This comparison reads two records and declares no winner. Trezor's binding document is the Trezor Suite Terms of Use, last updated 1 January 2026; Tangem's is the Tangem Terms of Service (Official Mobile Application), last updated 14 September 2026. On liability, Trezor's terms: capped at the fees paid for the app, and the purchase price for the device; Tangem's: liability excluded for all loss. That matters only if the software itself causes a loss. The record holds 3 primary-source incidents for Trezor and 2 for Tangem; a count of disclosures, not a measure of safety, and it matters most to past customers whose contact details or keys were involved. Trezor contracts through Trezor Company s.r.o. and Tangem through Tangem AG, under different law, which matters to anyone who may need to bring a claim. The two records agree on custody position, who can block an address and gambling clause. The record lists 3 sub-service clauses for Trezor and 5 for Tangem: places where a swap, purchase or staking goes to another party. 6 points could not be verified for Trezor and 6 for Tangem.
