💸 Binance, Bybit, MEXC, OKX and Bitget fees: which one suits your bot
What each exchange charges on Spot and Futures, where the zero-fee pairs are and how much of every 1,000 USDT your bot trades goes to fees.

💡 In short: on Spot, MEXC is the cheapest of the group (maker 0 %). On Futures they all charge about the same for makers; the difference is the taker fee. A bot that trades a lot pays the fee on every order, so it is worth checking before you choose.
Maker and taker in two lines
A maker order is a limit order that waits in the book; a taker order fills at once against the book. On all five exchanges the maker pays the same as or less than the taker.
