Bitget vs BscScan
The short version
- Each has a real cost: Bitget the Internet Archive's capture of Bitget's fee schedule page on 4 December 2023 confirmed trading fees can be discounted by paying with the BGB token and that a tiered VIP program grants further discounts, but the underlying fee percentages are loaded client-side and were not present in the captured HTML.; BscScan the BscScan API page now redirects to Etherscan's unified multichain API pricing, so BNB Chain data is bought under Etherscan plans rather than a BscScan-specific one
- They diverge on capability: Bitget covers Spot Trading, BscScan covers Block Explorer.
