Exchange fees look small until a trader repeats the same mistake many times. Coinbase, Kraken and Binance all publish fee information, but the final cost depends on whether the order adds liquidity as a maker order or removes liquidity as a taker order.
A market order usually pays taker economics because it executes immediately against existing liquidity. A limit order may receive maker economics if it rests on the book, but it can still become a taker order if it crosses the spread. This is why fee planning belongs next to order-type planning, not after the trade.
High-frequency manual traders, grid users and short-term futures traders should estimate fees before choosing a strategy. A setup that looks profitable before costs can become weak after taker fees, spread, funding and occasional slippage are included.
A simple comparison workflow is to check base fees, volume tiers, stablecoin-pair promotions, futures versus spot schedules, withdrawal costs and whether discounts require holding an exchange token. Lower fees are useful only if liquidity, security and account controls are also acceptable.
