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 number is published. The entire fee disclosure is one FAQ answer on the Kotani Pay homepage (https://kotanipay.com/, fetched 29 September 2026, HTTP 200; the answer text ships in the page's script bundle): "Are there any fees associated with using Kotani Pay?" answered "Yes, we charge an on-ramp/off ramp free based on the product." [sic, "free" for "fee"]. The /on-off-ramp product page carries no numbers, and the docs On-Ramp guide that should carry them (https://docs.kotanipay.com/docs/kotani-pay-on-ramp, and its .md copy on kotani-pay.readme.io) still returns HTTP 404 on 29 September 2026 while the docs index still links it. No purchase can be priced from a published page.

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.
