About

A measurement, not a listicle

FeeFloor exists because the advertised fee is the smallest part of what a crypto trade costs, and almost every “cheapest exchange” article copies that fee from the same pages anyway. We took the opposite approach: measure the whole cost — fee, spread and slippage — from live order books, continuously, and publish the ranking that falls out of the math.

Who operates FeeFloor

FeeFloor is published and operated by FeeFloor, an independent company with no exchange, market maker, broker or fund behind it. We do not take investment from the venues we rank, and no venue has any say in how it appears on the site. If that ever changes, it will be disclosed here before it takes effect.

Who maintains the data and methodology

Day-to-day, the site is maintained by the FeeFloor Data Team — the group that builds the measurement pipeline, keeps the fee tables current, and reviews the methodology. We publish under a team name rather than a personal byline on purpose: the numbers come from a documented, repeatable process, not from one person’s opinion, and we would rather stake the site’s credibility on a method you can check than on a headshot. We do not invent credentials or a fictional “expert” to decorate the page.

Experience behind the numbers

The team has built and run live crypto market-data systems since 2024, including the order-book cost engine that powers this site. That is real, relevant experience at the level that matters here — reading exchange order books, modelling execution cost, and keeping fee schedules accurate across dozens of venues — and it is the experience we are willing to be judged on. The full measurement method is public on the methodology page.

How exchange fees are verified

Fees are treated as facts to be checked, not values to be recalled. Each venue’s maker and taker rate is maintained by hand against its official fee schedule and re-verified on a schedule. Spread and slippage are not quoted by anyone — they are measured live from each venue’s order book at the moment you load the page. The methodology was last formally reviewed in July 2026.

How stale or wrong data is handled

Every published number carries the time it was measured, so you can always see how fresh it is rather than trusting an unlabelled figure.
When the upstream engine is briefly unavailable, the site keeps showing the last good numbers rather than inventing fresh ones or blanking the table — and the timestamp makes that visible.
When a book is too thin to fill the requested size, that row is flagged as depth-limited and excluded from the ranking rather than given a flattering estimate.
When we confirm a fee is wrong or out of date, we correct it and note material changes on the corrections page.

How to report an error

Traders and exchanges can both flag problems. If a fee looks wrong, a venue is missing, or a number seems off, email corrections@feefloor.com with the venue, the market and what you believe the correct value is. Exchanges reporting an official fee change are handled the same way as anyone else — verified against the source, then applied. The full policy is on the corrections page.

How affiliate links affect the rankings — they don’t

Links to exchanges are affiliate links: if you sign up through one, the exchange pays us a commission, and in many cases gives you a fee discount you would not get walking in the front door. Where such a discount exists it is shown openly in the table and can be switched off with the referral toggle.

Affiliate money cannot move a ranking. Positions are computed from measured cost alone: there is no paid placement, no “featured” slot, and no way for a venue to buy a better row. Several venues near the top pay us nothing at all — they are there because they are cheap, which is the whole point. The complete arrangement is on the affiliate disclosure page.

What FeeFloor is not

Not financial advice, and not a guarantee of execution: the numbers are live estimates of immediate execution cost, with the limitations spelled out in the methodology. Crypto assets are volatile and you can lose money trading them, cheaply executed or not. See the terms and privacy policy for the formal version.
