💸What is True Fee?
True Fees reveal the real cost of crypto purchases by comparing live market rates against provider quotes. This empowers users to spot hidden charges and choose the best offers available.
Understanding True Fees
At Coindisco, transparency isn't just a feature — it’s a core philosophy. True Fees is our breakthrough innovation that shows users the real cost of buying crypto, compared to live market rates, before they transact.
Unlike traditional fiat-to-crypto services where hidden charges can inflate final costs, True Fees ensures users always know exactly what they’re paying — and why.
What is "True Fees"?
In most crypto on-ramps, users are quoted a price, but behind the scenes, additional costs like provider markups, card processing fees, and hidden spread margins quietly add up. You often only realize this after you’ve paid — when you receive less crypto than expected.
Coindisco’s True Fees technology solves this by:
Benchmarking every quoted crypto price against the real-time market price.
Calculating the exact percentage markup you're paying — upfront.
Displaying this "True Fee" clearly before you confirm your transaction.
This means you know precisely if you’re paying 1%, 3%, or even 7% above market rate — no surprises.

You input $500.
Coindisco’s algorithm shows several provider options.
Each option displays the True Fee percentage (e.g., +1.9%, +3.1%).
