PricingSnapshotNo processing fee, spread or minimum is published. Onmeta widget FAQ (https://docs.onmeta.in/docs/widget/faq/), fetched 29 September 2026, HTTP 200: its "Pricing & Fees" section answers only "Gas fee varies from chain to chain. It is calculated using a combination of gas price and gas units needed to process the transaction." and, for the sell side, "We deduct TDS only for off-ramp transactions. TDS is 1% based on the latest ruling by the Government of India." The end-user terms (https://onmeta.in/terms-endusers-2) say only "You will be required to pay certain fees on each transaction you undertake on Onmeta. It will be reflected on the API while you undertake each transaction." The homepage routes pricing to "Schedule a Demo". No purchase can be priced from a published page.No fee schedule is published. The Alchemy Pay docs page "Fiat currencies, Payment Method Coverages plus Other Details" (https://alchemypay.readme.io/docs/fiat-currency-country-payment-method-coverage-plus-fees-and-limits.md, updatedAt 21 November 2025), fetched 29 September 2026, HTTP 200, links a Notion table "On-Ramp Payment Methods" whose columns (processing time, KYC countries, currencies, KYC level, pay-way code, method type, minimum, maximum and daily limits, documents) include no fee column (read through the Notion API on 29 September 2026). The Crypto Ramp Terms ("Last updated: Dec 25, 2025") say only "9.1 All fees payable under this Agreement are displayed during the purchase flow", and the marketing page says "Your users will appreciate the lowest fees in the industry." Sampled from Alchemy Pay's public quote API on 29 September 2026 (not published prices): a card quote for 200 euros carried a ramp fee of 4.19 percent and delivered about 4.3 percent less USDT than the USD rate in the same response; a Pix quote for 1,206 reais carried a 2.67 percent ramp fee and about 4.5 percent all-in; a UPI quote returned no data that day.

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.
