How we rank the best crypto apps
Ratings from the App Store and Google Play are averaged, with the highest scores listed first. Stores that have no recorded rating don't count toward the average.
The complete method, including the weight of every input, appears in how we score.
How to choose a crypto app
- Begin by checking the price of your trade. Using the fee finder, you can view what each exchange charges in dollars for your selected amount and method.
- Check where you live, because 6 of the US exchanges covered serve New York, and some also exclude other states.
- While preparing to cash out, compare the purchase fee with a bank withdrawal that costs nothing. Each one carries the same weight.
Why some apps are missing from the best crypto apps list
- Because they don't serve US residents, Binance, KuCoin, Bybit and Hyperliquid appear on no best crypto apps list.
