Changelly on Cambio · published pricing · quoted live on every swap

Changelly publishes 0.5%. Cambio charges 0.38%, and quotes Changelly live beside its own price.

A published commission is not a quote. The panel on the swap card asks Changelly for a live price on your corridor and your amount, and shows it at its true rank — above ours when it delivers more.

What we can and cannot show you

We have never recorded a Changelly quote. Cambio’s price probe reads the exchanger directory that carries live rates hourly, and Changelly is not listed there — so unlike SimpleSwap, Alfacash and ChangeHero, there is no observed record to show you and we will not project one. Setting a published commission against ours and calling the result a record would be circular: assume their number, quote ours, announce that we won. What is comparable is published pricing — Changelly publishes 0.5%, Cambio charges 0.38% — and the live panel on the swap card, which asks Changelly directly for your amount.

The panel on a swap does not rank on commission. It ranks on the amount that arrives after every fee, for your exact amount, at the moment you ask — and a lower commission usually wins and sometimes does not. When Changelly delivers more, Changelly is on top and you can take it; the order then runs at Changelly’s own price, with nothing added by Cambio.

WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT CHANGELLY

Changelly, on the record

The oldest service on this table, running since 2015.

Facts about Changelly that Cambio records and keeps current.
ChangellyWhat that means
Operating since201511 years, continuously.
Identity checksLikely — the strictest on this panelThe strictest on this panel. A long-standing record of holding deposits for compliance review, which can require identity verification to release.
Where their fee landsOn the netCharged on the net amount, after their own costs — verified by exact arithmetic on their own payload, not taken from their documentation.
How Cambio is paidSet on their sideMarkup — Cambio's share is configured on Changelly's side of the quote rather than added by us afterwards.
What we would want to know before using Changelly. Has a long-standing record of holding deposits for compliance review, which can delay a swap and may require identity verification to release. Changelly is on the panel anyway, because the bar below is what we hold a provider to and they clear it — but a comparison that never says anything unflattering is not a comparison.

Why Changelly is on the panel at all. Multi-year continuous operation, publicly reviewable, and no unresolved pattern of withheld payouts. Pays partners only through a fee added to the customer’s price, which we keep at zero; not armed.

The cost of actually sending your coins. Every swap has one, it does not shrink with the size of your order, and it is where a cheap-looking headline rate goes. Changelly states a fee we can read, and the panel ranks its quote on the amount that lands after it. Cambio publishes its own, in full, for every chain it pays out on: what Cambio charges to send a payout →

WHEN TO USE CHANGELLY THROUGH CAMBIO

Changelly on the panel, and what happens when you pick it

Type a swap and Changelly is asked for a live price along with every other exchange on the panel, for your exact amount. The panel ranks on what arrives after every fee, so when Changelly delivers more it is on top — and picking it runs the order at Changelly’s own price. Changelly pays Cambio out of that price, a share of its own fee or a small partner fee already inside it, and nothing is added after the quote.

We have never observed a Changelly quote, so this page makes no claim about who delivers more. The panel on the swap card asks Changelly for your amount and shows the answer at its true rank. When your corridor is one the panel cannot quote, go to Changelly directly — we refuse what we cannot serve rather than guessing.

QUESTIONS

Frequently asked

Is Cambio cheaper than Changelly?

We cannot tell you from observation, and we will not pretend otherwise: Changelly is not carried by the exchanger directory our price probe reads, so we have never recorded one of their quotes. What we can say is that the panel on the swap card asks Changelly for a live price on your corridor and shows it beside ours — whichever is better is the one you see on top.

Does Cambio mark up Changelly's price?

Changelly's quote on the panel is the price your order runs at if you pick it. Changelly pays Cambio out of that price — a share of its own fee, or a small partner fee it includes in the rate it quotes — and nothing is added after the quote.

What does Cambio charge?

0.38% on the swaps Cambio fills itself, inside the quoted rate, plus the network fee shown on the quote before you commit. Changelly publishes 0.5%. The panel does not rank on commission, though — it ranks on the amount that arrives after every fee.

When should I use Changelly through Cambio, and when directly?

Through Cambio when you want Changelly priced against the rest of the panel for your exact amount — you see the number, you pick it, the order runs at Changelly's own price. Directly when your corridor is one the panel cannot quote; we refuse what we cannot serve rather than guessing.
