# Comparing Account types

### Choose Virtual Account If

* You need to spend Native tokens. Currently there is no other way to do it for connected wallets, the native token would need to be wrapped into an ERC-20 first, like WETH to spend with a connected wallet.
* You want to create a separate account for each subscription payment. This lets you add balance for them separately while using the same tokens.
* You want to share passwords with your family. Sharing is not recommended, but if you share accounts with somebody else you should create a separate virtual account for them to spend from.

### Chose Connected Wallet If

* You only make payments using ERC-20 tokens.
* You have a Cold wallet you want to keep secure while making payments from it.
* You can control the allowed spending balance with ERC-20 allowance, optionally you can approve a large spend and top up the cold wallet as you go!
* You don't mind using a single account for multiple subsciptions. Wallet accounts can't be duplicated with the same EOA, token and chain. This means if you have a USDT Connected Wallet with EOA address X on BTTC, than that account can't be created twice. It can be however closed and recreated

### Do you regurarly use Metamask?

Then maybe virtual accounts are better.

### Do you want to set it and forget it and keep the wallet offline?

Then a Connected wallet will do!
