Fee and spread comparison
Most of the cost is hidden in the spread rather than the headline fee. Enter your purchase amount, adjust the percentages and see what each provider costs you and how much crypto you keep.
Inputs
We take the fee for a normal market order of a few hundred euro and add the average spread. That is what you actually pay, not the lowest tier in the provider's own table. Figures come from public fee pages on the date checked.
