Fees? Fees for LSP depends firstly about onchain fees, because are just onchain txs opening channels. If a LSP will charge and extra fee, is because they want to cover some possible loses in force closing or funds "locked" not moved by the user. Comparing wallets based on the LSPs fees doesn't make too much sense. LSP is LSP, wallet is wallet. Here is a comparison guide about wallets features. https://darthcoin.substack.com/p/lightning-wallets-comparison

Thanks for the guide and recent updates. In my opinion there are some differences worth understanding such as allowances for inbound (if you are expecting to receive a lot of payments), how the LSP thinks about eventual channel closes, new improvements such as channel splicing etc. This information can make a material difference to the user experience and appreciation of why they are being charged for certain events, especially for non-technical users coming from custodial wallets.

I tested almost all LN wallets and wrote several guides about them. I was thinking about writing a guide about all these fees, using LN and different methods, but is quite hard to have something established, standard or fixed about fees over LN. In this following guide for example I studied using a public node, with different techniques to see how routing respond. But that scenario doesn't apply to private LN nodes that doesn't do routing, only payments. https://darthcoin.substack.com/p/lightning-routing-fees-experiment Soon (maybe) we will have a standard for LSPs and then each mobile private node, could choose easily to have 2-3 LSP with different fees policies. I use for example Zeus and Blixt with 3-4 good LSPs and with MPP activated (MPP will use all available routes for a payment). I never use a wallet only with one LSP (except Phoenix that you don't have a choice). People should start learning all these details and all wallet apps features, not using one single app. As I explained here about choosing the right wallet: https://stacker.news/items/70725
