PricingSnapshotNo published fee schedule. Unlimit Crypto User Terms (PDF at https://cdn.unlimit.com/site-crypto/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/27064344/2025-06-Unl-Crypto_User-TC_06.2025.pdf, "Last updated: 27.06.2025"), fetched 29 September 2026, HTTP 200, name fee types without a number: "Processing Fee is due for payment by User in Fiat." and "Any other fees that are applicable and effective at the time of User Order.", set "at the sole discretion of Unlimit Crypto" (section 5.1); "User Fees shall be presented to User prior to processing of User Order." (section 5.2). Numeric fees exist only per quote through the authenticated Get-a-quote API (fields processingFee, networkFee, markupFee on docs.gatefi.com). The former brand site www.crypto.unlimit.com, including /pricing/, now redirects (HTTP 301) to stable.com, an Unlimit-group stablecoin app whose User Terms (v2, 24.06.2026) also carry no onramp fee number. A EUR 200 all-in cannot be reconstructed from any 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.

Which should you pick?

Unlimit Crypto

Leads
Pick it when
Pick Unlimit Crypto if named licence matters most — it scores 7/10 to Kotani Pay's 4/10 there (weight 22).
Strength
Licence identity — 7/10
Tradeoff
You cannot know the price before you start and you have no refund right after you pay: no fee schedule exists anywhere on Unlimit's surfaces, the terms let the settled amount 'be different from the amounts presented to User', all orders are 'final and cannot be refunded/returned', Unlimit may cancel 'without advance notice... and without providing reason' — and your entire written recourse is a contact form and a complaint answered within 14 days under Cyprus law.

Kotani Pay

41#16 of 16
Pick it when
Kotani Pay leads Unlimit Crypto on no published criterion and no score dimension — pick it only if a fact outside the score (country, funding rail, custody) decides for you.
Strength
Licence identity — 4/10
Tradeoff
You cannot learn the price, the terms, or the delivery promise before committing: no fee number exists on any public page, the Terms and Conditions URL returns 404, and access itself requires booking a sales call — the licence is real, but everything a buyer would check before trusting money to the rail is unpublished.

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.
