Key takeaways

  2. 02Jupiter — best for Solana swaps: on the US App Store, 0 to 10 bps platform fee on most pairs.
  3. 03Uniswap — Best on Ethereum: v3 pools from 0.01% to 1% LP fee, swapped from your own wallet.
  4. 04StealthEX — Best no-registration swap: 2000+ assets, no registration; US status not stated in its terms.
  5. Switching? Revoke token approvals you no longer need before you leave the old app.

How we picked these alternatives

  1. 01US availability — whether the terms bar US persons, allow them, or say nothing; if nothing, we write not stated in its terms.

  3. 03Custody — whether you swap from your own wallet or send coins to a deposit address.
  4. 04Coin choice — listed assets, from the service's own FAQ or homepage.
  5. 05Refunds and KYC — what happens to a failed or flagged swap.

Why look for a Changelly alternative?

Not available in the US

Changelly's terms list the United States, including all territories, as a restricted location.

Other restricted countries

The same terms also restrict the UK, Germany, Japan and India, so travel can cut off access.

No single fee page

Fee details sit in support articles rather than one fee page, while FixedFloat publishes 0.5% and 1% in its FAQ.

The 7 best Changelly alternatives

#1

ChangeNOW

Best US route (Pro account)

An instant swap service since 2017 listing 1000+ currencies. Its standard no-account swap bars US persons, but its terms let US residents use it through a ChangeNOW Pro account. Limitation: refunds for unsupported coins cost $50.

vs Changelly
  • US access: Better
  • Track record: Worse
  • Coin choice: Worse
  • US route via Pro account
  • 1000+ currencies
#2

Jupiter

Best for Solana swaps

A Solana DEX aggregator you use from your own wallet, so there is no account or deposit address. Its platform fee is 0 to 10 bps by pair. Limitation: it works on Solana only, so it cannot swap BTC to ETH.

vs Changelly
  • US access: Better
  • Published fee: Better
  • Cross-chain swaps: Worse
  • 0 bps on pegged pairs
  • Listed on the US App Store
#3

Uniswap

Best on Ethereum

A decentralized exchange used from your own wallet on Ethereum and other networks, with public pool contracts. Limitation: US availability is not stated in its terms, it swaps only within a network, and mainnet gas adds cost to small swaps.

vs Changelly
  • Published fee: Better
  • Self-custody: Better
  • Cross-chain swaps: Worse
  • v3 fee tiers from 0.01%
  • Open-source contracts on GitHub
#4

StealthEX

Best no-registration swap

A custody-free instant exchange that routes through partner exchanges, with 2000+ assets and no service fee beyond network and provider costs. Limitation: floating-rate swaps fail on rate moves over 5%, and US availability is not stated in its terms.

vs Changelly
  • Coin choice: Better
  • Fee transparency: Better
  • Floating-rate reliability: Worse
  • 2000+ assets
  • No registration
#5

Exolix

Best for fixed rates

An instant swap service since 2018 that shows the amount you will receive before you confirm and does not hold deposits. Limitation: costs are built into the rate, and US availability is not stated in its terms.

vs Changelly
  • Rate certainty: Better
  • Fee transparency: Equal
  • Coin choice: Worse
  • Payout shown before confirming
  • Does not hold deposits
#6

SimpleSwap

Largest coin list

Routes wallet-to-wallet swaps through 20+ CEX and DEX providers, with fixed or floating rates. Limitation: its terms list the United States and its territories as restricted locations, so US users cannot use it.

vs Changelly
  • Coin choice: Better
  • US access: Equal
  • Fee transparency: Equal
  • 2,800+ coins
  • Fixed or floating rates
#7

FixedFloat

Lowest stated fee

An automated exchange at ff.io with a published fee: 0.5% on floating rates and 1% on fixed rates, plus network fees. Limitation: its terms and site notice bar US citizens and residents.

vs Changelly
  • Fee transparency: Better
  • US access: Equal
  • Track record: Worse
  • Published 0.5% floating fee
  • Fixed rates lock for 10 minutes

Which Changelly alternative should you choose?

For US users: ChangeNOW through a Pro account for cross-chain swaps, or Jupiter and Uniswap from your own wallet. SimpleSwap and FixedFloat also bar US persons.

Bottom line

Changelly is closed to the US, so the choice for US users is narrow: ChangeNOW is the one cross-chain swap service here whose terms give US residents a route, through a Pro account. For swaps inside one ecosystem, Jupiter and Uniswap work from your own wallet with published fees.

SimpleSwap and FixedFloat are close matches for Changelly outside the US, but they bar US persons too. For StealthEX and Exolix, US availability is not stated in their terms; ask them before use.

Educational content, not financial advice. Crypto assets are volatile; do your own research.

How to move from Changelly safely

  1. Check the new service's terms for a restricted-locations list before sending anything; several swap services bar US persons.
  2. Swap a small amount first and confirm it arrives in your wallet on the right network.
  3. For cross-chain swaps, copy the payout address and any memo or tag exactly; a wrong network cannot be reversed.
  4. Compare the amount you receive, not the fee line, since most swap services build costs into the rate.
  5. Export your Changelly swap history, with transaction IDs, for tax records.
