After the Phoenix update, spending fees were higher but receiving fees were lower in general. Make sure to tick all the boxes when you review.
I had noticed after the splicing update fees were getting higher on Phoenix wallet, so I finally got around to testing a couple new options.

First up is Mutiny wallet, I'm really liking it! The Android APK is working well now if you happen to be on that OS.
I tested sending lightning payments up to 1M, using Alby, WoS, and Zeus with Olympus LSP as receiving wallets. They all worked. Fees were reasonable, ranging from 11-25 sats for the 1M sat transfers.

I also set up the Zeus integrated lightning node, Olympus. I like the Zeus interface, I use it as a front end for Alby on my phone.
Zeus had trouble sending larger payments. I wasn't able to send over 250K in my tests today, once again testing with WoS, Alby, and Mutiny as receiving wallets. Fees were a bit higher as well, 84 sats consistently for a 250K transfer.

I have decently large channels open in both now, so I will be able to continue testing more in the future. I can't wait to see what they build going forward!
