COST COMPARISON
Exchange fee comparison
Compare approximate spot fees with transparent, editable assumptions.
Approximate assumptions, not quotes. Rates below are editable illustrations of public spot schedules reviewed October 27, 2026. Your product, account tier, region, pair, and discounts can change the actual fee. The custom row is hypothetical.

One leg = notional × fee rate. Round trip assumes identical notional on entry and exit. Excludes spread, slippage, deposits, withdrawals, conversions, taxes, funding, and borrowing. No exchange ranking or endorsement is implied.
Kraken Pro: Illustrative entry-level spot tier; platform assets and volume can affect eligibility.
Coinbase Exchange: Illustrative $0–$10k volume tier. This is Exchange pricing, not a quote for Coinbase retail or Advanced.
Custom exchange: Hypothetical example. Replace both rates with your own exchange fee tier.

A maker adds liquidity to an order book, while a taker removes it. A limit order is not always a maker order. Compare the exact products and your own fee tiers before drawing conclusions.
