Daedalus is a full node, this means it downloads and synchronizes with the blockchain.

It's developed by IOHK, the blockchain research and development company behind Cardano.

Yoroi is a lightweight node, this means it doesn't need to download and synchronize with the blockchain. Instead it connects to a service that does this for you.

It's developed by EMURGO, the commercial arm of Cardano.

Yoroi is also available for Android and iOS. In contrast to the desktop version, you can create several wallets in the app.

There is no Daedalus mobile wallet, and btw you don't want to run a full node on a mobile. Don't fall for scams that appear in the App Stores from time to time.

AdaLite.io was developed by vacuumlabs, they were also responsible for the Cardano Ledger app and won the crypto puzzle at the IOHK Summit 2019.

In fact, we're not big fans of Web-Wallets and can only recommend them in combination with a Hardware-Wallet, like the Ledger Nano S or the TREZOR-T.

But then, AdaLite.io shows its advantages, because it leaves no traces behind. Also great in terms of plausible deniability because after using it with Ledger you can no longer "look into" the account to see the balance, unless you replug your hardware wallet.

Visit AdaLite.io

The overview here is a bit outdated, today there are many more wallets that are very good: Eternl, Flint, Nami, Typhon, Atomic, CWallet, GameChanger, NuFi to name a few.

Until we have updated this page, it is best to visit the wallet showcase section of the Cardano Developer Portal.
