About BrokersAndExchanges.com
Honest, experience-based crypto exchange reviews from traders who actually use these platforms daily.
Our Mission
We created BrokersAndExchanges.com because we were frustrated with the state of crypto exchange reviews. Too many review sites are paid promotions in disguise, featuring exchanges that pay the most rather than those that serve users best.
Our mission is simple: provide honest, detailed reviews based on real trading experience. We use these exchanges ourselves, deposit our own money, make real trades, and share exactly what we find - the good and the bad.
Our Team
Lead Reviewer
Crypto trader since 2017
- 7+ years of active cryptocurrency trading
- Tested 50+ exchanges with real accounts
- Experienced with spot, futures, and DeFi trading

I've personally traded on every exchange we review. My reviews include specific examples from my own trading history, real fee calculations I've paid, and honest assessments of what works and what doesn't.
Why Trust Our Reviews?
Real Testing
We create accounts, complete KYC, deposit funds, and trade for at least 30 days before reviewing any exchange.
Our Own Money
Every review involves our own funds. We experience the same fees, withdrawal times, and support issues you would.
Data-Driven
We track actual fees paid, execution times, and support response times - not just what exchanges claim.
Regular Updates
Exchanges change. We update reviews monthly for fees and quarterly for full re-tests.
Our Editorial Standards
- Independence: No exchange can pay for a better rating. Our rankings are based solely on our testing methodology.
- Transparency: We clearly disclose affiliate relationships. Some links earn us commissions, but this never affects our reviews.
- Accuracy: We verify all claims and update content when information changes. Each review shows its last update date.
- Completeness: We cover both strengths and weaknesses. A 5-star exchange doesn't exist - every platform has tradeoffs.
- User Focus: We write for real traders making real decisions, not for search engines or advertisers.
Affiliate Disclosure
How we make money: Some of the links on this site are affiliate links. When you sign up for an exchange through these links, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.
Our promise: Affiliate relationships never influence our ratings or recommendations. We review many exchanges without affiliate partnerships, and we're equally critical of all platforms regardless of financial relationships.
Why it matters: Affiliate commissions allow us to maintain this site, conduct thorough testing, and provide free content. We believe in full transparency about how we operate.
