How this comparison works
Fees are the published spot maker/taker rates. Platforms marked Verified were checked against the official fee page on the date shown. Platforms marked Check official page use the most recent figures we could confirm from secondary sources. Fee schedules change often (several major exchanges raised their entry-level rates in 2026), so always confirm on the platform before trading.
"Instant buy" in apps usually costs significantly more than order-book trading because of spreads and convenience fees. "No major hack or enforcement action" excludes platforms with any entry under notable history.
