Fees

Looking at commissions and fees, Moneta Markets is the cheaper pick for most traders, earning 4.5 out of 5 stars and ranking #17 out of 63 brokers. Swissquote scores 3.5 out of 5 stars and ranks #54 out of 63. Swissquote’s pricing varies by region and tends to carry a small premium, while Moneta Markets’ ECN accounts deliver lower all-in costs.

Swissquote’s costs differ across its U.K., Luxembourg, and Switzerland entities. In the U.K., the Elite account suits active traders who can deposit at least $10,000, pairing lower spreads with a $5 commission per round-turn. The Standard account starts from 1.3 pips on EUR/USD, and the Prime account advertises a 0.6-pip minimum (note: that’s a minimum, not an average). In Luxembourg, minimum spreads range from about 1.5 pips (Standard, $1,000 minimum) to 0.8 pips (Prime, $50,000 minimum). In Switzerland, EUR/USD starts from 1.7 pips on Standard, 1.4 pips on Premium ($10,000), and 1.1 pips on Prime ($50,000), with custom pricing available for high-volume traders. Overall, Swissquote’s spreads are higher than what low-cost forex brokers typically offer.

Moneta Markets offers three accounts. The Direct STP option is commission-free with an average EUR/USD spread of 1.38 pips (August 2023). The Prime ECN account averages 0.194 pips plus a $6 round-trip commission per standard lot, for an all-in cost around 0.79 pips—slightly below industry average. For larger deposits ($20,000+), the Ultra ECN account drops the commission to $2 round-trip and features tighter spreads. While Moneta Markets isn’t the absolute cheapest globally, its ECN pricing generally undercuts Swissquote for active traders.
