About Us

Updated October 2026

Swap Wise Guide is an independent review and ranking site for crypto exchanges. We help people compare services that can look nearly identical in an advert but behave very differently once money is on the line. Our job is to separate clear pricing and solid operational practices from glossy marketing.

Our scores examine five practical areas: pricing, security, liquidity and trade execution, usability and transparency, plus support and market access. We read fee schedules and legal terms, check the path a user takes from deposit to withdrawal, assess available safeguards, and track meaningful policy changes. A low headline fee does not impress us if the spread is poor or the withdrawal process is needlessly difficult.

We are not an exchange and we do not custody assets. Some links on the site may generate a commission, which helps fund our research. Those relationships never set a score, and we disclose them plainly. Rankings are editorial judgments based on the information available at the time, not promises of safety or suitability for every reader.
