DropFi vs Joey Wallet
Joey Wallet is a popular XRPL mobile wallet with a simple UX and solid feature set. If you’re deciding between Joey and DropFi, the main differences are fees, where each wallet runs (mobile only vs mobile + browser), and how dApps connect — injection in-browser vs QR or deep links.
Why compare DropFi and Joey Wallet?
Both are non-custodial XRPL wallets aimed at everyday users and traders. Joey is mobile-first: you use it on your phone and connect to web dApps via QR or links. DropFi gives you the same non-custodial experience on mobile and adds a Chrome extension, so you can use one wallet on desktop too — and connect to dApps directly in the browser with the injection API, no QR step.
Fees and where you pay
Joey Wallet passes through XRPL network fees and may apply additional fees on certain operations (e.g. swaps or in-app features). DropFi does not charge swap or transaction fees on top of the network; you only pay the minimal ledger fee. For frequent swappers, that difference can be meaningful over time.
Mobile vs mobile + extension
If you only need a wallet on your phone, either can work. If you also use dApps on a laptop or desktop, DropFi’s Chrome extension keeps everything in one wallet: same keys, same balance, connect and sign in-browser without pulling out your phone to scan a QR. Developers building for the XRPL can integrate once with the injection API and support both desktop and mobile (in-app browser) with the same flow.

Bottom line
