The published numbers split this one: Changelly has the longer track record (since 2015 vs 2018); SimpleSwap lists more assets (2800 vs 1000). Neither side sweeps the table for Australia, so the right pick depends on which row matters most to you. Every figure was re-checked against official pages on July 11, 2026, and the row-level sources are one click away below.
Changelly and its counterpart are lined up on the same published rows below — entry-tier costs, verification, coverage, and local availability — with the winning cell decided by the published number alone, re-checked on July 11, 2026. Where a platform does not publish a figure, the row says so instead of guessing, because an unpublished number is a real answer about transparency too. Use the availability row first if you are signing up from Australia: a cheaper venue that cannot legally take your registration is not cheaper.
| Brand | Published value | Source | Availability | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Changelly | Fee model: 0.25% · Rate types: Both floating rate and fixed rate swaps offered; fixed rate guarantees the exact displayed amount | Changelly official website | accepts Australia | Open account |
 SimpleSwap | Fee model: Spread-based: no explicit percentage fee on crypto-to-crypto swaps; margin is built into the quoted rate · Rate types: Floating and fixed rate; fixed-rate swaps require deposit within 20 minutes and have upper limits; floating-rate swaps have no restrictions | SimpleSwap official website | accepts Australia | Open account |
Each check below names the platform whose published number wins that row outright, using the values re-verified on July 11, 2026. Changelly and its rival keep their source links in the last row, so any cell can be audited in one click before you commit funds — and if a provider stops publishing a value, the row flips to "not published" on the next re-check rather than staying frozen.
