Independent crypto exchange comparison · published fees, sourced and dated
Crypto exchange fees you can check, not just read.
AffMiss reads each exchange’s own fee schedule, records the rate with its source and date, and ranks venues with a published formula. Every outbound link carries its disclosure on the same line.
Block 01 · The board
Crypto exchange fees, ranked.
The fee index turns each venue’s published base-tier futures and spot fees into one number out of ten. The formulas are published, so a venue cannot climb by paying more.

Block 02 · Your cost
Which crypto exchange is cheapest for your volume?
The cheapest exchange depends on how much you trade and how often your orders rest on the book. Enter a month of your own trading and the nine venues are re-ranked by the fee bill their published base-tier rates would produce.
For this trading the lowest bill is $29.00 a month at Deribit. The highest is $48.00 at Bitget and KuCoin, a gap of $228.00 a year.

Formula: volume × (maker share × maker fee + taker share × taker fee), using each venue’s published base-tier rates read on 10 November 2026. Funding, spread, slippage and withdrawal fees are not included. At higher volumes most venues move you to a VIP tier with lower rates, so treat large-volume results as an upper bound. The buttons are affiliate links: AffMiss may earn a commission, which is not an input to this ranking. Disclosure
Block 03 · The standard
Four rules behind every number.
Each rule leaves a trace on the page: a linked source, a date, a published formula, or a row marked pending.
- 01
Every fee names its source
Each rate on this site was read from the venue’s own fee page or help centre, and the review links to that page so you can check it.
- 02
Every fee carries the day it was read
Exchanges change fees without notice. A reading without a date is not useful, so each one shows when it was taken.
- 03
Commission never moves a rank
AffMiss may be paid by venues it lists. The fee index is a published formula applied to published fees, and commission is not one of its inputs.
- 04
Unverified is a first-class answer
Anything not confirmed is labelled pending rather than estimated. That includes every funded test, because none has been run yet.
Block 04 · Cost tools
Know the cost before the deposit.
Four calculators, live on this site. Fees, realised PnL, the price at which a leveraged position is closed against you, and what an options leg really costs on Deribit — run them before you size the trade.
Futures fee calculator
Maker and taker, opening and closing, plus funding
Fees are charged on notional, not on the margin you post. At 10× leverage a 0.055% taker fee costs 0.55% of the margin you put up. Funding is charged per 8-hour period and can be negative.
Presets are each venue’s published base-tier futures maker and taker rates, read on 10 November 2026.
Block 05 · About
What AffMiss is, and is not.
AffMiss is an independent comparison site. It reads what exchanges publish, records it with a source and a date, and does the arithmetic in the open. It has not yet traded any venue with its own money, and says so on every review.
- 9 venues compared on published base-tier fees
- Every score reproducible from the formulas on the methodology page
- No funded tests yet, and no claim that depends on one
AffMiss may be paid by venues it lists. The formulas are published, the fee index is arithmetic, and the disclosure sits beside every link that can earn a commission.
