  • Only Coinbase has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Coinbase the App Store listing states standard Coinbase trades carry fees and that a paid Coinbase One subscription is needed for zero trading fees and boosted staking rewards, and that fractional stock shares start at $1.; Razorpay international card payments cost up to 3% per transaction versus 2% domestically, per razorpay.com/pricing (Aug 2026), and an 18% GST is added on top of the platform fee
