FactUniswapMatcha
Swap spreadSnapshotUniswap Labs' help-centre article "What are Uniswap Labs' fees?" (read through its Zendesk API on 30 September 2026, updated 23 September 2026) says: "As of December 27, 2025 Uniswap Labs does not charge interface fees." Its table lists the Interface + Wallet interface fee as "0%". What a swapper still pays is the pool's swap fee, per the developers.uniswap.org Fees page (fetched 30 September 2026): "In Uniswap v2, every pool charges a flat 0.30% fee"; "The standard v3 tiers are 0.05%, 0.30%, and 1%" (the same page also tables a 0.01% v3 tier); in v4 "Pool creators can set any fee from 0% to 100%". Since the December 2025 UNIfication vote a protocol fee of about 1/6 of the swap fee is carved out of that pool fee on v2 and select v3 pools; it is not charged on top. Network gas applies.Matcha's help article "Are there any fees to make a trade?" (help.matcha.xyz, last updated about a month before the 30 September 2026 fetch) lists: "Matcha Auto 0.25% swap fee for most pairs · No fee for stablecoin-to-stablecoin pairs", with gas built into the quote; Matcha Standard "A flat 25 bps (0.25%) swap fee applies to most pairs, and network gas fees also apply", with no fee between two stablecoins; limit orders "0.02%" for stablecoin pairs and "0.25%" for others; cross-chain swaps "0.04%" stablecoin to stablecoin and "0.40%" for all other pairs, plus gas. The rates apply on every supported chain, Solana included. Matcha may also keep part of any trade surplus and earn order-flow-auction rebates, but "you will never receive less than your quoted amount".

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.
