How Flipster Stacks Up: Real Trading Costs Across Top Perps Exchanges

Trading fees are just the beginning. If you're trading size, it's the hidden costs, like spread and slippage, that can really eat into your edge.

This piece breaks down the true cost of trading perpetuals across leading platforms, showing where Flipster truly stands. Our goal is simple: clarity. Because once you see the full picture, the choice becomes obvious.

The Flipster Edge 

1. Built for Lowest All-In Costs

Across all tiers and trade sizes, Flipster delivered the lowest total cost of execution. 

While some platforms offer marginally better posted fees at the highest VIP levels, these savings are quickly offset by heavier spreads and slippage.

With Flipster’s zero-friction execution, and tier-based fee discounts, traders benefit from a predictable, declining cost curve that scales with volume. One flat fee. No execution surprises.

2. No Hidden Costs. Just Transparent Execution

Trading fees are visible. Spread and slippage are not, but they matter more than most think.

On most platforms, the real cost of trading is often 3~4x the posted fee, especially when trading larger altcoin positions like DOGE or SOL.

For instance, at VIP 6, users trading $1M of DOGE-USDT might pay a 2.5 bps posted fee, but lose another 6.25 bps to spread and slippage. The cost can spike dramatically when volatility increases.

Why It Matters

In today’s ultra-competitive trading landscape, execution quality is everything.  A few basis points saved per trade add up fast.

Flipster's zero-friction execution model, with zero spreads on 20+ major perpetual pairs, is a structural advantage that compounds over time. These include:

BTC, ETH, XRP, BNB, SOL, DOGE, TRX, ADA, SUI, LINK, AVAX, 1000PEPE, LTC, PAXG, AAVE, TRUMP, TON, ARB, HYPE, NEAR, DOT, 1000SHIB, FIL
