Published fees, verified

The best crypto exchange for what you actually pay, venue by venue

Every fee on this site is one the venue prints on its own page, re-read and matched verbatim before it ships. Five well-known venues publish nothing readable, and that is the first thing a reader needs to know.

Each figure is the venue's own published fee at the entry tier, the band a new account trades in before any volume discount, with the day its page was read. A venue that publishes no readable rate is shown with that fact and the reason its page gave, never with an estimate.

Best crypto exchanges A shortlist is only worth having if the things on it are comparable, and on this shelf they frequently are not.
Best crypto app Almost every venue in this index ships a mobile app, so choosing the best crypto app is not a choice between apps at all.
Lowest fees crypto exchange The lowest fee a crypto exchange advertises and the lowest fee it will charge you are rarely the same number.
Buy crypto with a credit card Paying by card is the fastest way onto a crypto venue and reliably the most expensive.
Crypto copy trading platform Copy trading is a feature of a venue, not a product you buy separately, so the question of which crypto copy trading platform to use is mostly a question of which venue you open an account on.

Source: Crypto exchange entry-tier fees verified against each venue's own published fee page on 2026-09-21 by infra/ingest/hubs/cryptoexchangecomparehq.com/ingest_vendors.py: every quoted figure re-fetched and matched verbatim (hash-pinned). 9 of 14 venues print an entry-tier trading fee as text; 5 (kraken, coinbase, bybit, mexc, kucoin) render it from JavaScript or would not serve it, and are listed with that reason rather than an estimate.

All 9 source pages; each is the venue's own published fee page, quoted verbatim with retrieval date

kraken.com Kraken fee page (read, no rate served) (venue's own page, fetched and recorded as not-retrieved with the reason)
coinbase.com Coinbase Advanced fee page (read, no rate served) (venue's own page, fetched and recorded as not-retrieved with the reason)
bybit.com Bybit fee page (read, no rate served) (venue's own page, fetched and recorded as not-retrieved with the reason)
mexc.com MEXC fee page (read, no rate served) (venue's own page, fetched and recorded as not-retrieved with the reason)
kucoin.com KuCoin fee page (read, no rate served) (venue's own page, fetched and recorded as not-retrieved with the reason)

Methodology: Every rendered fee is a rate the venue prints on its OWN page, re-fetched through our fetch service and matched VERBATIM - the quote and the day it was read travel with the cell - then hash-pinned. Fees are shown at the ENTRY TIER, the band a new account trades in before any volume discount, because that is the number the reader will actually pay. Some venues print a maker/taker split and others a single headline trading fee; each is shown as printed and no blended effective rate is computed, because a derived number rendered as though a venue published it is the thing this index exists to replace. A venue whose page could not be read is listed WITH that fact and the reason, never with an estimate and never with a blank.
