No project pays to be listed. How we rank
ChangeNOW's standard swap bars US citizens and residents, who may use it only through a Pro account; for US users, Uniswap lets you swap from your own wallet instead. Below are seven ChangeNOW alternatives, US-available options first.
ChangeNOW is an instant crypto swap service, operating since 2017, that lists 1000+ currencies. Its fees are built into the quoted rate. Its terms bar US citizens and residents from the standard no-account service and point them to a ChangeNOW Pro account under separate terms. See the full ChangeNOW profile →
ChangeNOW's terms bar US citizens and residents from the standard no-account swap; they must open a Pro account under separate terms.
Fees are included in the quoted rate, so there is no separate fee line to compare with a published DEX fee such as Jupiter's 0 to 10 bps.
| Name | Best for | Custody | US availability |
|---|---|---|---|
| ChangeNOW ORIGINAL | Baseline | 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 |
| Changelly | Non-US users | 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 |
| 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 |
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.
An instant exchange since 2015 with 1,200+ coins and a fiat aggregator for card buys. Limitation: its terms list the United States, including all territories, as a restricted location.
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: Uniswap on Ethereum, swapped from your own wallet. Changelly, SimpleSwap, FixedFloat and Jupiter bar US users.
For US users the main issue with ChangeNOW is access: the standard swap is barred and the Pro account adds a sign-up. Uniswap lets you swap from your own wallet with a published fee, but only within one ecosystem, and Jupiter is not available to US residents, so BTC to ETH still needs a cross-chain service.
Of the cross-chain services, Changelly, SimpleSwap and FixedFloat bar US persons in their terms. For StealthEX and Exolix, US availability is not stated in their terms, so ask them before using them from the US.

Not the standard service. Its terms bar US citizens and residents and allow them only through a ChangeNOW Pro account under separate terms.
For same-chain swaps, Uniswap on Ethereum, used from your own wallet. Jupiter is not available to US residents.
Changelly, SimpleSwap and FixedFloat list the United States as restricted in their terms, as does ChangeNOW's standard service.
Jupiter charges 0 bps on pegged pairs and up to 10 bps on most others, and FixedFloat publishes 0.5% on floating rates, but both bar US users.
No separate line: fees are included in the quoted rate.
