How we compare

We only state features we could verify from each platform's own materials and independent reviews, and we avoid copying fee tables that change often. Before choosing, open each platform's current fee page and test with a small amount.

Questions to ask yourself

Do I trade on a phone or at a desk? Do I need limit orders? Do I want automation or to decide every trade? Do I already know how wallets and gas work? Your answers matter more than any feature list.

Fees: how to compare fairly
