Verdict

Both providers are practically level in our overall rating (4.3 to 4.3).

On a €1,000 purchase you pay €8.40 less at Binance.

BinanceOur Opinion

Binance is considered the world’s largest crypto exchange by trading volume and is valued for its low spreads in order book trading. With over 370 tradable cryptocurrencies, savings plans and staking, the platform offers a broad range of services. On the market since 2017, Binance has established itself as a major player in crypto trading.

For the German market, however, it should be noted that Binance does not have a BaFin license. The direct-buy fees of 1.75 % and total costs of 18.50 € per trade are occasionally criticized, as is the limited cost transparency for direct purchases. The minimum amount of 15 € is also higher than at some competitors.

Binance is seen especially as suitable for experienced traders who want to benefit from the low spreads in order book trading and for whom a missing BaFin license matters less than the platform’s global market presence and liquidity.

RevolutOur Opinion

Revolut is considered one of the most versatile financial apps in the DACH region and is popular with users who want to manage crypto, banking, card payments, and currency exchange in a single application. With more than 210 tradeable cryptocurrencies, Revolut offers by far the broadest coin selection among the brokers compared here. MiCA regulation via the Cypriot subsidiary RT Digital Securities provides a European regulatory framework.

Unlike many German neobrokers, Revolut enables both wallet transfers to external wallets and staking and recurring investments. Biometric verification for withdrawals is viewed positively as an additional security feature. Deposits are possible via SEPA, SEPA Instant Transfer, and credit card, which increases flexibility.

The trading fees of 1.49 % are at the upper end in the broker comparison and are occasionally criticized by users. Cost transparency in the transaction confirmation is also considered to have room for improvement. Revolut is therefore especially suitable for investors looking for a wide selection of coins with wallet functionality in an all-in-one financial app and who are willing to accept higher trading fees for it.
