The short version

Binance or OKX: what the published fees say.

OKX has the higher fee index: 6.5 against 6.4. The index is built only from each venue’s published base-tier fees.

Both list the same futures taker rate (0.05%). Both list the same futures maker rate (0.02%). Two market orders on a $10,000 position cost $10.00 at Binance and $10.00 at OKX, before funding.

Binance: usdⓢ-m futures at 0.02% / 0.05%. OKX: low spot maker fee with futures and options. 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 If a figure here disagrees with the venue’s fee page, the fee page is right and this page is out of date.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.

Which one to open

Neither of these is a general recommendation. Match the account to the orders you actually place, and check that the venue serves your country before anything else.

Pick Binance if

Futures traders who want the 0.05% base taker rate and can hold BNB for the fee discount.

Not for

Residents of countries Binance does not serve, and options traders until that schedule is verified here.

Read the review
Pick OKX if

Traders who split activity between spot and derivatives: 0.08% spot maker is below the 0.10% most large venues charge, and the futures rates match Binance.

Not for

Traders in a country where OKX restricts derivatives, or anyone who needs a single flat rate across every pair.
