The short version

Binance or MEXC: what the published fees say.

MEXC has the lower futures taker rate: 0.04% against 0.05%. MEXC has the lower futures maker rate: 0.01% against 0.02%. Two market orders on a $10,000 position cost $10.00 at Binance and $8.00 at MEXC, before funding.

Binance: usdⓢ-m futures at 0.02% / 0.05%. MEXC: lowest published base fees in this set. Neither venue has been through a funded AffMiss test, so this page compares what each one publishes, not how each one fills.

Both venues are scored with the same formulas on fees read the same day. If a figure here disagrees with the venue’s fee page, the fee page is right and this page is out of date.

Where they separate

The fee index scores each venue’s published base-tier fees with the same formulas and weights. The edge column shows which venue scores higher on that line, and by how much.
