Real cost comparison
The published maker/taker rate is not the whole bill. This table applies the listed spot taker fee to three ticket sizes so you can see which venue is actually cheapest to trade — before spread, deposit and withdrawal.

Which exchange actually costs the least?
On this list MEXC has the lowest listed spot taker fee (0.05%). Trading fee still is not final cost: spread, deposit rails and withdrawal networks can erase a headline fee advantage, especially on small tickets.
Maker vs taker fees
Makers add liquidity; takers take it. Most retail market orders pay the taker rate. Limit orders that rest on the book can pay the maker rate — that is why Binance can look cheaper on paper than it feels if you only use market orders.
