Plans & pricing

Strengths

  • Non-custodial delegation model; 0% FX; 30+ countries; Apple/Google Pay.

Weaknesses

  • Virtual only; no USA; only stablecoin Solana.
  • Full KYC required: verified identity, zero pseudonymity.

Verdict

B C ★ 3.8/5 ★ 2.9/5 Estimated net annual cost: €0/year

The mid-tier placement reflects a mix of pros and cons: 0% FX markup, coverage in over 30 countries and Apple and Google Pay support on one side, but virtual-only, no cashback and operation limited to Solana stablecoins on the other. FCA oversight helps, but the non-custodial delegation model still leaves key-risk management to the user.

On the sovereignty front the product holds up: non-custodial via delegation, on-chain settlement and funds handled by the multi-chain Exodus wallet, with 0% markup. Operating only in Solana stablecoins and needing SOL for gas narrow its scope, and full KYC remains the limit on anonymity.
