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.; Compound compound is a decentralized, non-custodial protocol governed by COMP token holders rather than a company; interest rates on supplied and borrowed assets are set algorithmically by pool utilization rather than published as a price list, so there is no vendor pricing page to compare against
- They diverge on capability: Bitget covers Spot Trading, Compound covers Lending.
