Every exchange we track that lists FREE, what the buy costs, and what it costs to take FREE with you afterwards.
FREE is thin on the ground: exactly one exchange we track lists it, MEXC. With a single venue there is nothing to compare on price, so the thing worth checking is whether withdrawals are open before you buy. The cheapest place to place the order is MEXC at $0.50 on a $1,000 market buy. Every exchange sends FREE over Ethereum (ERC20), so there is no network to get wrong.
All-in cost is the trading fee on a $1,000 market buy plus the cheapest fee that exchange charges to withdraw FREE. It is the number the exchange’s own “how to buy” page never shows you, and it reorders the table more often than not. The coins column is how many assets each exchange lists in total, from our own sync — not the figure CoinMarketCap prints.

Showing 1–1 of 1 exchange listing FREE
On 1 exchange we track: MEXC. The table above has its trading fee, the payment methods it takes and what it charges to withdraw FREE.
We cannot rank the exchanges on cost for FREE yet: the venues that list it have not published enough of their fee schedule for a like-for-like comparison. The withdrawal fees in the table are still exact.
Indirectly, yes. 1 of the exchanges listing FREE accepts a card (MEXC), but the card almost always buys a major asset — USDT, USDC, BTC — which you then swap for FREE on the same exchange. That means two fees: the card charge, then the trading fee in the table.
Every exchange charges one, as a flat amount of FREE per network rather than a percentage. We do not have a priced figure for all of the venues listing FREE yet — the FREE withdrawal fee page has whatever each exchange publishes.
It is a custody choice, not a safety switch. While the coin sits there the exchange holds the keys: convenient, recoverable if you lose your password, and dependent on the exchange staying solvent and keeping withdrawals open. Moving it to a wallet you control removes that dependency and costs one withdrawal fee. For a trading balance, staying put is reasonable; for a long hold, most people move.
Exchange coverage for FREE comes from each exchange’s own deposit and withdrawal endpoints (last sync 2026-08-29 00:53 UTC); trading fees are the published base tier, no volume discount applied (verified 2026-08-28). Exchanges we have a referral arrangement with appear first and are tagged as such — it changes no number in any row. Nothing here is investment advice; see our methodology.
