No project pays to be listed. How we rank
Changelly is not available in the United States or its territories, per its terms; US users can use ChangeNOW through a Pro account, or swap on Uniswap from their own wallet. Below are seven Changelly alternatives, US-available options first.
Changelly is an instant crypto exchange, operating since 2015, that lists 1,200+ cryptocurrencies and cites 840+ partners using its swap API. It also runs a fiat aggregator for card and bank purchases. Its terms list the United States, including all territories, as a restricted location, along with the UK, Germany, Japan and India.

Changelly's terms list the United States, including all territories, as a restricted location.
The same terms also restrict the UK, Germany, Japan and India, so travel can cut off access.
Fee details sit in support articles rather than one fee page, while FixedFloat publishes 0.5% and 1% in its FAQ.
| Name | Best for | Custody | US availability |
|---|---|---|---|
| Changelly ORIGINAL | Baseline | Non-custodial | Not available: users must not be located in, under the control of, or a national or resident of the United States (including all territories), a Restricted Location under the terms of use |
| ChangeNOW | US users with an account | Non-custodial | Standard service not available; US residents may use it only via a ChangeNOW Pro account |
| Jupiter | Non-US users | Non-custodial | Not available: Terms of Use list the US as a prohibited locality |
| Uniswap | Ethereum and EVM tokens | Non-custodial | Available: terms restrict only sanctioned jurisdictions |
| StealthEX | Cross-chain, no account | Non-custodial | Available: terms restrict only sanctioned jurisdictions |
| Exolix | Known payout amount | Non-custodial | Available: terms restrict only sanctioned jurisdictions |
| SimpleSwap | Non-US users | Non-custodial | No: US and US territories listed as restricted locations |
| FixedFloat | Non-US users | Non-custodial | Not available: US citizens and residents are barred |
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.
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. Not available to US residents: its Terms of Use list the US as a prohibited locality.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
For US users: ChangeNOW through a Pro account for cross-chain swaps, or Uniswap from your own wallet. SimpleSwap, FixedFloat and Jupiter bar US users.
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 on Ethereum, Uniswap works from your own wallet with published fees; Jupiter is not available to US residents.
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.
