Apple
If you accept payments while selling goods and services, Apple Pay can help you speed up the payment process while securely accepting payments. Since there is no need to stick a card into a machine, users won't have to fumble looking for a card when they can put their whole wallet on Apple Pay and check out easily.

Coinbase
I think Coinbase is extremely suitable for people who are just starting to get into crypto-related activities. Based on how easy it is to use along with the brand recognition I think it offers beginners a better sense of security. Just like all trading platforms, it is extremely easy to get carried away as you only have to confirm your purchase twice and it goes through. It would not be very suitable for those who have little self-control.

Pros
Apple
  • The double click which launches it couldn't be easier; you don't even have to open your phone and find the app.
  • It's pretty much fool proof from there, as just holding your phone near the reader is sufficient for success.
  • Haptic feedback ensures that I know the payment registered.
  • I have full faith and confidence that the transaction was executed securely.

Cons
Apple
  • At times, my Apple Pay will pop up unintentionally. Perhaps there can be more safeguards around that.
  • Apple Pay is not super great if I need to make a return. For any return, I've found that paper receipts are superior.
  • Apple Pay sometimes requires very specific positioning when scanning the phone, which is frustrating.

Coinbase
  • Just like other apps(venmo, cashapp, PayPal) it keeps all your trade portfolio under coin based. Not transferable
  • Even though, they give you a starting balance of $10. They do wants you to put at least $10 of your money
  • The training video are simple. Learn about US dollar coin, USD, and bitcoin. But it doesn't teach you how to be a savvy trader. That will take additional education
  • You can't add small cryptocurrency like BAR to your portfolio. It certain amount to trade with.

Great UI, Great tools for education learning with freebies, eqsy onboard, site and app are pretty good. Good API documentation. The opposite is high fees and slow support when needed. Overall it is good for its simple use and balance between beginners and professional traders making it a great choice and this is why it is one of the most famous site out there.

I haven't needed to contact support for Coinbase yet—it's probably because it is super easy to use and very intuitive. If I were to use the support, it would probably be better than these other companies because most of the other ones come from foreign markets or aren't as big as Coinbase.

When I had my Android/Samsung phone, I tried Samsung's version of Apple Pay and it was terrible. It was very glitchy, and sometimes I would get a notification that I paid for something when I wasn't even in a checkout screen, like I was just browsing the internet or something and I'd get a notification! It was alarming and I quickly uninstalled the app and never used it again.

Coinbase is just better overall, with access to investments that can be traded for USD. As well as the crypto that can gain interest, Coinbase is amazing at educating the user along with providing real-time data, that allows the user to make the best decision they can when making this kind of risky investment. Coinbase takes the risk out of Crypto.

Coinbase
  • It's saved time from figuring out how to buy and sell cryptocurrencies
  • It makes monitoring market prices and fluctuations in the value of crypto holdings very easy and simple. Which also saves time.
  • We don't do as high of volume so the lower transaction costs even though there is a slight premium saves us a lot of money in contrast to many of the exchanges that can charge 4-5+% transaction costs.
