Comparing KAST Card and MetaMask Card on fees, cashback, custody, and where each card is available. All data is current for 2026.
Some cards on this page link to affiliate partners, and we may earn a commission if you sign up. The comparison verdict comes from our public scoring formula either way — read our editorial disclosure.
The short version:
MetaMask rates 4.2/5, slightly ahead of KAST at 3.8/5. Both are solid options, but MetaMask is the better pick for most people.
MetaMask Card is the better card here. With self-custody, your crypto stays in your wallet until you actually spend it, unlike KAST where the issuer holds your funds. Zero fixed costs give MetaMask a cost advantage from day one. It works with Apple Pay and Google Pay, which is useful if you pay by phone. However, KAST may be better if you need something it does better.
In short: MetaMask Card (4.2/5) is the stronger option for most people compared to KAST Card (3.8/5).
