This is not financial advice. Just a crypto nerd from Central Europe testing platforms with real money. €100 on Binance, €100 on Revolut. Here’s what I found.

Initial Funding 💶

To keep it simple, I deposited €100 into each app. Revolut via Apple Pay, Binance via SEPA deposit. Both deposits were instant.

🔹 Binance balance: €99.00 (after a 1€ SEPA fee) 👆

🔹 Revolut balance: €100.00 flat 👆



Buying BTC – Step-by-Step 🛒

On Revolut:

  • The interface was super sleek, but also very "bank-like."

  • I bought 0.00102135 BTC for €100.

  • Hidden inside: a fee of €2.49, with the exchange rate at €95,471.99 per BTC.

On Binance:

  • I placed a limit order on the BTC/EUR pair.

  • I got 0.00104 BTC at a price of €94,405.71.

  • Trading fee: 0.0001206 BTC, paid in BNB (0.01206%).



Fee Breakdown (Real Money, Real Pain?) 📊


Revolut gave me less BTC for the same money, and the fee was ~20x higher than Binance’s discounted taker fee.

Security & Experience🔐

  • Binance: Advanced 2FA, whitelisted withdrawals, address book, biometric login, device management.

  • Revolut: 2FA via app, biometric login , but feels limited compared to Binance’s security dashboard.

  • Both apps felt secure, but Binance gives more control to the user.

UX & Transparency💡

  • Revolut feels like a neobank — beautiful, but limited.

  • Binance is clearly built for crypto users — more advanced, but it can feel intimidating at first.

I appreciated Binance’s:

✅ Transparent fee structures
✅ Limit orders
✅ Real spot trading

Meanwhile, Revolut felt like:

❌ Crypto “wrapper” on a bank interface
❌ Limited control (no sending crypto, no wallet)

💬 Support

  • Didn’t need support from either this time (no bugs).

  • Past experience: Binance live chat usually connects faster, Revolut tends to start with a bot loop.

📌 Conclusion: Which One Wins?

Let’s be fair — Revolut is great for total beginners, or someone who just wants casual exposure to crypto without leaving their banking app. It’s clean, easy, and simple.

But for anyone even slightly serious about crypto? Binance crushes it:

  • Lower fees by a mile

  • Real BTC (you can withdraw it)

  • Earn programs, Copy Trading, advanced orders

  • More freedom and better rates

With Revolut, I bought BTC inside a bank. With Binance, I actually traded BTC.
