Compare before you commit
Every comparison here follows the same rules. Claims about a competitor come from its own published documents, dated on the page. Each page names where the competitor beats us, in a section with the same weight as our own case. And none of them tells you a custodial processor is a scam, because the honest difference is architectural, and it is enough.
If a comparison you need is missing, it is because we have not finished a verified fact sheet for that provider yet. We would rather have no page than an unsourced one.
NOWPayments vs NoHoldPay
Huge coin list, and three conflicting custody descriptions in their own documents. Quoted, dated, compared.
Read the comparisonCoinPayments vs NoHoldPay
The 2013 incumbent: pooled omnibus balances, a dormancy fee, and a paused EU service, all per their own agreement.
Read the comparisonCryptomus vs NoHoldPay
All-in-one balance ecosystem at 2 percent standard, next to flat-rate settlement that never touches a balance.
Read the comparisonCoinGate vs NoHoldPay
The good version of regulated custody: fiat payouts and licenses, against USDT, Monero, and no KYB on our side.
Read the comparisonBitPay vs NoHoldPay
Their docs make your customer verify identity to pay an invoice. That, plus what a fixed fee does to small tickets.
Read the comparisonOxaPay vs NoHoldPay
Two genuinely no-KYC gateways. One holds a balance by default, per its own API docs. One cannot.
Read the comparisonCoinRemitter vs NoHoldPay
Their 0.23% beats our headline. The flat withdrawal fee on their custodial balance is the real price, so we do the math.
Read the comparisonPlisio vs NoHoldPay
The same 0.5% headline. Their terms describe platform service wallets and a second cash-out fee. Quoted side by side.
Read the comparisonConfirmo vs NoHoldPay
Dual-licensed and candid: unsettled crypto balances convert to EUR after two business days. Keeping crypto is the divide.
Read the comparisonPaymento vs NoHoldPay
A fellow non-custodial gateway, treated fairly: custody is a tie, and per-payment addresses versus one static address is not.
Read the comparisonBlockonomics vs NoHoldPay
The same direct-to-wallet model since 2015, at 1%. Ours extends it past Bitcoin at a lower rate, with gasless stablecoins.
Read the comparisonBTCPay Server vs NoHoldPay
Free, open source, genuinely non-custodial. The honest comparison is managed versus self-hosted, and we write it that way.

Common questions
- How are these comparisons sourced?
- Every claim about a competitor traces to its own published pricing, documentation, help center, or terms, read on the date shown in each page's sourcing footer. Where a number only exists in secondary reporting, the page says so and attributes it. Nothing is characterized beyond what a quoted document supports.
- How often are the comparisons updated?
- Quarterly as a floor, plus event-driven refreshes when a competitor changes pricing, terms, or regional availability. Our own fee and coverage numbers render from the live platform on every visit, so that side of each table cannot go stale between refreshes.
- Why is a well-known gateway missing from this list?
- A page ships only after a full first-party fact sheet exists for the competitor, with claims verified against its live documents. Providers whose sheets are still in progress, or whose products do not overlap ours enough for a useful comparison, are left out rather than covered thinly.
