FeeEdge
The cheapest crypto exchange for how you actually trade
Every exchange advertises a taker fee. On perpetual futures that is only about half of what you actually pay. The other half is funding, charged on your whole position every 8 hours, and it never shows on the sticker. Hold a position for a few days and funding can quietly cost more than the fee you were comparing, which means the cheapest venue to trade is often not the cheapest venue to hold.
FeeEdge ranks 20 major crypto exchanges by your real estimated monthly cost, fees plus funding, tuned to how you actually trade. You set your monthly volume, your maker and taker mix, your market (perps or spot) and your assets, and it ranks every venue for your exact profile. Volume tiers and native token discounts are factored in.
There is also a free Fee Audit. Drop your exchange trade history CSV in and see exactly what you paid in fees and funding. It parses entirely in your browser, so your trade history never leaves your device and nothing is uploaded.
Free to use with no account required. Pro is a one time $29 unlock, no subscription. Rankings are estimates computed from published fee schedules and live funding data, not financial advice. FeeEdge uses affiliate links to some exchanges, but they never affect the rankings.

I trade perps, and I got tired of the fact that every exchange advertises a taker fee that is only about half of what you actually pay. Funding is charged on your whole position every 8 hours, so hold for a few days and it can quietly cost more than the fee you were comparing. The cheapest venue to trade is often not the cheapest venue to hold. It started as a spreadsheet. Maker and taker rates in one tab, funding in another, volume tiers in a third, redone every few months and out of date the moment an exchange changed its schedule. At some point the spreadsheet became a tool, and the tool became FeeEdge. Two things I care about: The Fee Audit reads your exchange trade history CSV entirely in your browser. It never touches a server. Asking someone to upload their full trading history to a stranger's site just to see what they paid felt wrong. The fee data is a mix of live API fetches, scrapes, and hand verified published rates. Only about 7 of 40 rate rows actually auto refresh today, so instead of a vague "updated recently" badge, every venue shows the real date its rate was last updated. Expanding that live coverage is the main thing I am working on. Free to use, no account needed for the calculator, the CSV audit, or the funding board. Happy to answer anything about the cost model or the data pipeline.
