PricingSnapshotLink (Stripe) help article "Fees when using Link to buy crypto" (https://support.link.com/questions/fees-when-using-link-to-buy-crypto, modified 12 May 2026), fetched 29 September 2026, HTTP 200, unchanged from 18 August 2026. Processing fees: "These are payment processing fees charged based on factors such as your order value and the payment method you’ve used. These will normally amount to 3-5% of your order value and will be shown in more detail before you make a purchase." Network fees: "They’re dynamically calculated based on blockchain network conditions." Card-issuer cash-advance fees: "these fees are typically around 3%, sometimes with a 10 USD/EUR minimum." No per-rail schedule exists on stripe.com or docs.stripe.com (docs.stripe.com/crypto/onramp/fees returns HTTP 404 on 29 September 2026). The spread is separate and unquantified: Stripe's US Onramp Terms define "a fee that Stripe will charge between the market price we receive from our Exchange Provider and the price displayed to you (the "spread")". Worked example (our arithmetic, not a Stripe figure): a EUR 200 card purchase would "normally" carry EUR 6.00 to EUR 10.00 in processing fees, before the unquantified spread, the network fee and any card-issuer cash-advance fee; there is no EUR bank rail (bank account payments are "for US only").Onramp.money docs "Payment Gateway Fees" (https://docs.onramp.money/onramp/supported-assets-and-fiat/payment-gateway-fees), fetched 29 September 2026, HTTP 200, unchanged from 18 August 2026. Onramp (pay-in) payment-gateway fees: INR UPI "0.77" (no unit printed); BRL PIX "0.12%"; MXN SPEI "0.65%"; NGN bank transfer "2% capped at 1K NGN"; EUR "OpenBanking and Manual Bank Transfer via SEPA" "1 EUR til 201 then 0.5%". The platform's own fee appears only as a sample in the onramp Quotes API reference ("onrampFee":0.5, described as the "fee charged by onramp in pct"). No spread over any named benchmark is disclosed, and the consumer page https://onramp.money/fees still renders no fee text (29 September 2026). Worked example (our arithmetic, not an Onramp.money figure): a EUR 200 SEPA purchase carries the flat EUR 1.00 gateway fee (EUR 200 is under the 201 threshold) plus a platform fee that the API sample puts at 0.5 percent (EUR 1.00), before the unquantified spread and the network fee.

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.
