Does SimpleSwap need an account?

No. Standard swaps require no registration, though flagged transactions can still trigger verification before release.

What is SimpleSwap's fee?

Undisclosed and embedded in the rate, typically between 0.4% and 1% depending on the pair, with a premium for fixed rates.

Is SimpleSwap trustworthy?

It has operated since 2018 without a major incident. The standard risks apply: custody during the swap and the possibility of a compliance hold.

SimpleSwap or FixedFloat?

FixedFloat is cheaper and states its fee openly. SimpleSwap supports more assets. For anything FixedFloat covers, it is usually the better choice.

SimpleSwap Review 2026: Adequate, Unremarkable, Mid-Priced

There is not much to say about SimpleSwap, which in this category is close to a compliment. It supports several hundred assets, requires no registration, distinguishes clearly between fixed and floating rates, and settles reliably when nothing trips a screen.

Pricing

The margin is embedded in the quote and typically runs somewhere between 0.4% and 1% depending on the pair's liquidity, with a premium on fixed rates. That is mid-table: cheaper than Changelly or Godex, more expensive than FixedFloat or SideShift. Since nothing is itemised, comparing the quote to market mid remains the only way to know.

Compliance and support

Deposits flagged by screening are held pending verification, and users report resolution timelines running from days to weeks with documentation requests. Support responds through tickets, without live escalation. This is the category baseline rather than a specific failing, and it is the reason nobody in this section scores above 7.5.

Coverage

Broad enough for most needs across major chains and a long tail of tokens, with reasonable minimums. It lacks the very widest catalogues of ChangeNOW or LetsExchange and covers considerably more than the boutique services.

Who should use SimpleSwap

Users who want a straightforward swap and are not optimising for the last half per cent. If you are price-sensitive, use an aggregator such as SwapSpace or Trocador to compare before committing — SimpleSwap will often appear in those results, and you will see immediately whether it is the best available quote.
