The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Compound compound is a decentralized, non-custodial protocol governed by COMP token holders rather than a company; interest rates on supplied and borrowed assets are set algorithmically by pool utilization rather than published as a price list, so there is no vendor pricing page to compare against; Trezor Suite requires a physical Trezor hardware device (Safe 7, Safe 5, Safe 3, Model T or Model One) to use; the vendor's own page states "All Trezor devices work with Android. Trezor Safe 7 also works with iOS via Bluetooth", so iOS support is limited to the Safe 7 model
  • They diverge on capability: Compound covers Lending, Trezor Suite covers Portfolio Management.
