The short version

  • Each has a real cost: 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; Exodus in-app crypto swap rates start at 0.5%, charged on top of any network blockchain fees
  • They diverge on capability: BscScan covers Block Explorer, Exodus covers Multi-chain Wallet.
