Why you can trust us
How we work and how we earn
We sync the register every morning. The data on this page is from 2026-10-24.
We will make a real purchase of this size on each exchange to measure costs ourselves, instead of copying the price list.
Every number comes with its source and the date we checked it.
We compare services. We never say what to buy, hold or sell.
How we earn
We have no partnerships with exchanges at the moment, and this page has no partner links. When we do, some exchanges will pay us a commission if you open an account through our link. That will not change the licence status: the register decides it.
