FactOKX WalletElectrum
PricingSnapshot"OKX DEX charges users a flat user interface fee for using the OKX DEX interface to access and conduct transactions on third-party DEXs." The published rates are 0% (Others <> Others), 0.1% (Group 1 <> Group 1), 0.25% (Group 1 <> Group 2) and 0.5% (Group 2 <> Group 2), and "No interface fee is charged on certain transactions, such as native-token wrap/unwrap, liquid staking, and protocol deposits/withdrawals from Aave protocol" (web3.okx.com/dex-fees, rendered 28 October 2026). Which group ETH and USDC fall in is set on a separate token-group page not read here. The wallet app itself carries no price, and network fees go to the chain: "OKX wallet doesn't charge this network fee and is unable to refund it." (okx.com/help/okx-wallet-faqs, fetched 28 October 2026)."Electrum is distributed under the MIT licence by Electrum Technologies GmbH." (electrum.org, fetched 28 October 2026). The same page is the download page for Linux, Windows, macOS and Android and states no price, subscription or service fee; the only cost of a payment is the network fee the user sets. Electrum has no in-app token swap; its submarine swaps between on-chain bitcoin and Lightning run through swap servers whose fees electrum.org does not state.

Score dimensions
weights sum to 86
The published score is five dimensions, each weighted for the category. "Published criteria" is the criteria block above; the other four are the engine's own terms — availability, friction, trust record, measured data. Each bar is one side's points out of that dimension's maximum; the weight beside the name is its points of the 86-point weighted total. The published criteria above can fill 24 of the block’s 30. A weight marked “constant here” belongs to a dimension every ranked product in the category holds at the same value: it still counts in the total, and it orders nothing here.
