How is it better?

I have no idea, I don't even know it.
"Better" is a matter of opinion, and it is up to the users to decide whether something is better in their view.

OK fair enough. I thought you would have some idea why your paid software was better than free software but apparently not ....

why would people pay for a wallet when all others are free?

Because it does what they need better than the others?
As a software developer, I see the need for both free software and paid software - sometimes your needs as a user are not met well by the free options, and then buying software is appropriate. Most of the software I use is free, but I do use some that I bought (I have also donated bitcoins for free software that I use

).

I'd be suprised if people paid for wallets. The ones we have now seem more than satisfactory.

I'd be less inclined to trust a paid one. Opensource is the way to go especially with things like Bitcoin.

Electrum or Multibit is good.
You don't need to have the full blockchain with them.

Hi trying to find a good and trusted bit coin wallet ?

Any advise on good ones or ones to avoid would be great.

if web, blockchain.info, atleast i use it with no problems

I really like blockchain.info. Real simple to use, don't need to download anything, allows for paper wallets for offline storage, and there are apps for mobile use to keep track of everything! Plus they have 2 factor, plus you can limit it to specific IPs only that can access your account as well.

What happens if your IP changes? lol.

But I also recommend blockchain.info.

A good way to store your bitcoin safely is by diversifying your money in different places.

I currently have all these wallets:
Android bitcoin wallet
Mycelium
Blockchain
Coinbase
Bitcoin Qt
Cold storage paper wallet

Try an online blockchain.info one first which is good for beginners. Just make sure you set up all the security features - second password 2 factor auth etc.
