How does Anytime Capital pricing compare with Bitget?

Anytime Capital quotes one all-in number: card, Apple Pay and Google Pay orders start from 4% with the spread included, and the amount you pay and the crypto you receive are both on screen before you confirm. Bitget prices card purchases routed to Simplex, Banxa or Alchemy Pay, where Simplex charges 3.5% to 5% with a $10 minimum; none of these are available to a U.S. customer, with a per-coin network fee set by Bitget; crypto deposits are free. Blockchain network fees apply at both. Compare the crypto that lands on the same order size rather than the headline rate.
