Crypto exchanges

Bit2Me

Spanish exchange regulated by the Bank of Spain.

Custody€0 — no custody fee

Per orderWallet (simple app): 0.95% per buy/sell trade, with a spread of up to 1%. Bit2Me Pro (advanced): between 0.04% (maker) and 0.60% (taker) depending on volume.

The simple app (Wallet) is much more expensive than the Pro platform on the same exchange — worth switching to Pro if you trade with any regularity.

Kraken

One of the most established international exchanges, wide pair coverage.

Custody€0 — no custody fee

Per orderKraken Pro, base tier (under $10,000 monthly volume): 0.25% maker / 0.40% taker, dropping to 0% maker / 0.05% taker at very high volume.

Fees drop in tiers based on 30-day trading volume (or assets held on the platform). Always use Kraken Pro, not the basic app, to access these rates.

Coinbase

Publicly listed exchange (Nasdaq), easy to get started with.

Custody€0 — no custody fee

Per orderStandard app: 1.49%–3.99% per trade (includes a ~0.50% spread plus a flat or percentage fee). Advanced Trade (same account, different interface): 0.05%–0.60% maker/taker.

The price gap between the standard app and Advanced Trade is huge on the same exchange — using Advanced Trade drastically cuts costs. Coinbase One (paid subscription) waives fees on simple trades up to a monthly volume cap.

Frequently asked questions

Why isn’t there a single "winner" or ranking score?+

Because the cheapest option depends entirely on what you do: someone buying and holding index funds long-term cares about very different fees than someone trading ETFs weekly or swapping crypto pairs often. A single score would hide that and could point you to the wrong platform for your actual use case.

How were these fees verified?+

Every figure on this page comes from each broker's own official fee schedule, checked directly (not copied from a third-party review). Each row links to the source we used. Fees — especially on crypto exchanges, which often have volume-based tiers — change over time, so always double-check the live page before deciding.

Are these affiliate links?+

No. Every link on this page is a direct link to the platform, with no referral code and no commercial agreement behind it. There is one exception elsewhere on the site, disclosed where it appears: the pledging page carries a MyInvestor referral link, marked as such right above the button. No fee table, ranking or comparison on this site is influenced by it.

What's the difference between a broker and a robo-advisor like Indexa Capital?+

A broker (MyInvestor, Trade Republic, DEGIRO) lets you buy and sell specific funds or ETFs yourself, and charges per order. A robo-advisor (Indexa Capital) builds and automatically rebalances a portfolio for you, and charges a single ongoing percentage instead — there's no per-trade fee to compare because you never place trades yourself.

Educational content, not financial advice. Fees change over time (especially on crypto exchanges, with volume-based tiers): always check the live fee schedule on the official site before deciding.
