About FeeLessTrade

Compare Exchange Fees and Referral Programs Before You Sign Up

What this site does

FeeLessTrade is a reference site for crypto traders who want to compare exchanges and understand what trading costs. Every basis point of fees matters, so we publish exchange guides and fee information and link to each exchange's sign-up page.

Whether you are experienced or new to crypto, we aim to explain how exchanges and their referral programs work. Our sign-up links are referral links: we may earn a commission from the exchange when you register, and the exchange sets any fee discount you receive.

The site is deliberately small: five exchange guides, a fee comparison, a handful of coin pages and a short set of trading guides, from beginner explainers to futures risk. Market commentary is opinion, not a forecast, and nothing here is financial advice.

What you get here

Referral Programs

Each exchange runs its own referral program with its own terms. See the exchange for what a referral currently earns; results vary and are not guaranteed.

Several Exchanges in One Place

Compare the sign-up pages and features of MEXC, Bybit, Bitget, OKX and KCEX side by side before you choose.

Check Before You Register

Licensing, security and proof-of-reserves practices differ by exchange and by country. Check each exchange's licence status where you live before you deposit.

Payouts Come From the Exchange

Referral commissions, if any, are calculated and paid by the exchange under its own affiliate terms. FeeLessTrade does not hold or pay out commissions.

Guides and Articles

Read exchange sign-up guides, how-to-buy pages for eight coins and crypto trading education articles.

Learning Resources

Guides to help you understand what you are trading and what it costs. Nothing on this site is financial advice.

How the Referral Links Work

1

Use or Share a Referral Link

Each link on this site opens the exchange's own sign-up page with our referral code attached.

2

Sign Up on the Exchange

You create your account directly with the exchange. Any trading-fee discount for referred users is set by the exchange's referral program.

3

Referral Commissions

Whether a referral earns a commission, and how much, is decided by the exchange's affiliate terms. Earnings are not guaranteed.

4

Check the Exchange's Terms

Payout timing, reporting and any requirements are set by each exchange. Read them before you rely on any referral income.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much can a referral earn?

That is set by each exchange's own affiliate terms and depends on how much your referrals trade. Check the exchange for current terms; earnings are not guaranteed and many people earn nothing.

Is there a minimum referral requirement?

Any requirements, limits or caps are set by each exchange's affiliate program. See the exchange for details.

When do I get paid?

Payment timing and withdrawal rules are set by each exchange's affiliate program. See the exchange for details.

Can I promote multiple exchanges?

Each exchange has its own affiliate program and terms. Read them before promoting any exchange.

Are referral links allowed?

Referral programs are offered by the exchanges themselves, but rules on promoting crypto differ by country. Check your local rules and each exchange's terms, and disclose your affiliate relationship when you share a link.

What support do I get?

We publish guides and sign-up instructions. We do not provide financial advice or account support; contact the exchange for account questions.
