The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Rainbow free instant deposits and fee auto-compounding are gated behind the paid Rainbow Black tier; the vendor's own site states "Upgrade to Rainbow Black for free instant deposits, bigger rewards, and up to 100% of your trading fees auto-compounded", implying standard accounts pay deposit and trading fees; SushiSwap sushiSwap routes a portion of every trading fee to SUSHI stakers rather than to liquidity providers alone; users who stake SUSHI receive xSUSHI, which entitles them to a share of protocol fees, per the vendor's own documentation.
  • They diverge on capability: Rainbow covers Ethereum Wallet, SushiSwap covers Token Swaps.
