The features they have included, mostly, and complete lack of any KYC needed.
They have:
Nostr Wallet Connect
eCash for privacy
Lightning address for receiving zaps
BOLT12
Easy to use UI
And I am sure I am missing something.
As always with custodial solutions, you are absolutely at risk of being rugged, so don't keep much on there.
Personally, I am using Alby Hub on my own Start9 with a parallel CLN node for BOLT12, so I have all of the above features, except the eCash part, completely self-custody. For those who just want an easy custodial option, though, it's hard to argue with what Coinos (nprofile…0pev) has going for them.
