The five areas head to head
AI AnalysisFees & Costs
No separate analysis -- based on Coinbase.
When it comes to fees and costs, the overall sentiment in the reviews is rather positive. Users occasionally describe justTRADE as inexpensive and highlight the pricing level positively in their feedback. However, concrete cost information should always be considered in comparison with the fees stated by the provider.
Usability & User Experience
No separate analysis -- based on Coinbase.
Users particularly appreciate the clear design and uncomplicated use of the justTRADE app. According to reviews, the interface is often described as clearly structured and easy to understand. In some cases, usability on larger devices is seen as room for improvement, and users would like to see features such as a tablet mode, dark mode, and more sorting options.
Features & Offering
No separate analysis -- based on Coinbase.
According to the user data, only a limited number of specific comments are available on features and the offering. It is occasionally mentioned that order functions are room for improvement from the user perspective, and users would like more stop-loss options, a longer timer, and instant deposits. Overall, the offering is commented on rather briefly in the reviews, so no consistent picture can be derived from user opinions here.
Stability & Security
No separate analysis -- based on Coinbase.
The user reviews do not show a completely consistent picture when it comes to stability and reliability. Users do report fast execution, but app crashes, login problems, slow charts, display errors, and difficulties with two-factor authentication are occasionally criticized. According to user data, this area therefore appears to have room for improvement in some respects.
Customer Support
No separate analysis -- based on Coinbase.
Users repeatedly describe support as fast. According to reviews, inquiries sometimes receive a reply in a timely manner, which is highlighted positively in user feedback. Overall, customer service leaves a predominantly positive impression based on the analyzed responses.

Verdict
In our overall rating Coinbase Advanced leads with 4.2 against 3.0 for justTrade.
On a €1,000 purchase you pay €0.70 less at Coinbase Advanced.
For most investors Coinbase Advanced is therefore the better choice.
Coinbase Advanced is the pro trading interface within the Coinbase app and is aimed at active traders. It fully replaced the separate Coinbase Pro platform in November 2023 and has since been integrated into the regular Coinbase account. Account, verification, and asset balances are shared with the standard Coinbase interface -- switching between direct buy and Advanced happens within the same app.
Instead of the flat direct-purchase fees on the standard platform, a volume-based maker/taker model applies here, with entry rates of 0.60% maker and 1.20% taker, decreasing as 30-day volume rises down to 0.00% maker / 0.05% taker. Since 2025, the TradingView integration with more than 400 indicators is embedded in the interface. Limit, market, stop-limit, and bracket orders (take-profit and stop-loss combined) are supported with GTC/GTD durations. API access is available via REST, WebSocket, and for institutional users also via FIX. The learning curve compared to the standard Coinbase interface is occasionally criticized in user comments.
Coinbase Advanced is considered particularly suitable for traders looking for lower fees than on standard Coinbase and who value pro charts and order types. Coinbase One membership additionally grants a 25% USDC rebate on Advanced spot fees, capped at 100 USD per month. Those who mainly execute direct purchases are better served on the standard Coinbase interface. This comparison does not constitute investment advice.
In the DACH region, justTrade is primarily perceived for its fee-free trading model: there are no explicit trading fees, and costs arise exclusively through the spread. With 27 tradable cryptocurrencies as real coins, the broker offers a solid range, processed via the BaFin-licensed Sutor Bank. For cost-conscious investors who also want to trade stocks and ETFs alongside crypto, justTrade is considered one of the cheapest options.
Also appreciated is the ability to set up crypto savings plans, as well as the 20-% discount at Blockpit for crypto tax reports. The platform can be used via both app and web and is aimed at investors who prefer an uncomplicated trading environment. Staking via crypto ETPs is seen as a useful addition.
However, wallet transfers to personal wallets are not possible, which is occasionally criticized by users. The minimum deposit of 50 € and the SMS-based 2FA are also considered room for improvement. justTrade is therefore particularly suitable for price-conscious beginners and occasional investors looking for inexpensive access to crypto and securities in a regulated German environment.
