I've never used them because I don't really want to sign up with another KYC'd exchange, but River seems to be a full step better than Swan.

River is pretty solid too. And limiting the number of KYC services is important practice. It’s easy to forget that even signing up for something is making you vulnerable, even if you don’t use it.
It’s a particular pain ping for me because I’m constantly signing up for stuff to test and try out services because I feel obligated to have some knowledge of them. But I know it’s terrible practice from an OpSec point of view. Hard to get around though with what I do. Best for people to avoid whenever possible
River is outstanding. I made the switch at the first of the year. It took them a while to add automatic withdrawals, but with that in place, I see them as setting the bar.
My Bitcoin company stack def has them in it.

I’m exploring Robosats as a new identity safe option, but embarrassed to say that I haven’t taken the time yet to explore it.
