Moneta Markets outpaces FXPrimus on commissions and fees according to ForexBrokers.com. Moneta Markets earns 4.5/5 stars and ranks #17 out of 63 brokers, while FXPrimus scores 4/5 stars and ranks #43. If you prioritize lower all-in trading costs, Moneta Markets generally has the edge in this comparison.
Moneta Markets offers three account types. The commission-free Direct STP account carries wider spreads, averaging 1.38 pips on EUR/USD in August 2023. The Prime ECN account averaged 0.194 pips on EUR/USD in August 2023 plus a $3-per-side commission ($6 round trip) per standard lot—an all-in cost around 0.79 pips, which is slightly below the industry average. For larger deposits, the Ultra ECN account drops the commission to $2 per round trip ($1 per side) but requires $20,000. While competitive, Moneta Markets’ pricing still doesn’t match the very lowest-cost forex brokers.
FXPrimus does not publish average spread data, limiting a direct, like-for-like comparison. Based on its 4/5 stars and #43 of 63 ranking for Commissions and Fees, FXPrimus appears less cost-competitive than Moneta Markets for traders focused on spreads and commissions.

Dive deeper: Best Copy Trading Platforms.
Moneta Markets and FXPrimus both make it easy to get started with a free demo (paper) account and support the popular MetaTrader 4 (MT4) and MetaTrader 5 (MT5) platforms. Each broker offers a Windows desktop download and a web-based trading platform, along with copy trading and the ability to place trades directly from charts. FXPrimus also adds its own proprietary platform, while Moneta Markets sticks with third‑party options. Details about integrations like DupliTrade or ZuluTrade, as well as the exact counts for technical indicators, drawing tools, and watch list fields, were not disclosed.
For Trading Platforms and Tools, both brokers earn 4 out of 5 stars, yet their category rankings differ: Moneta Markets is placed #34 out of 63 brokers by ForexBrokers.com, while FXPrimus is ranked #50. If you value a slightly higher third‑party evaluation, Moneta Markets has the edge. If having an extra, in-house platform option matters to you, FXPrimus may appeal more. Either way, both deliver familiar MT4/MT5 experiences on desktop and web with chart‑based trading and demo access.
