How cheap is changelly?

[cuno]

I want to know if they are the same as Kraken and Binance or if they have much higher exchange rates?

Much higher fees than Kraken. Please check the images, taken from Changelly and Kraken.

Very bad experience with Changelly. I used to convert some crypto with them when I was too lazy to go through normal exchanges, until they froze my account for some reason I can’t remember. It eventually got unfrozen and I never again used them.

What the best alternatives we have, need a reliable and trusted company?

such rugs are common. Also the changenow is the same poop.
Good if you use for 500$

No way Kraken fees are accurate, 0.02 % Maker fee for 0 USD 30-Day volume on a US spot exchange is just impossible.

Changelly known as selective scammer also changelly, minergate, freewallet, HitBTC belong to one entity and they involved scam/premined cryptocurrency known as bytecoin.

I tested conversion in my Ledger Live:
With FTX I would get 453 eur
With Changelly I would get 449 eur

1% difference.

Changelly is ok for small sums but you will start encountering problems as size increases.
Just use an exchange, rather with your own docs or darks.

Read riddens comment.
They are known for scamming expecially people with higher amounts who don't want to reveal their identity in hope they wont attack them

Changelly are total scumbag scammers, as already mentioned by others they try to keep your money with their non-satisfiable KYC requirements.
Better use FixedFloat.com or Sideshift.ai (the latter once declined my deposit but refunded it without asking for documents).

I use changenow.io which is a changelly alternative quite regularly and I don't mind them charging a few dollars on each exchange.

It's useful if you want no-KYC, no-account instant swaps from crypto to crypto

The internet is not confirming your opinion. They seem to be scamming selectively.

"My funds are frozen by ChangeNOW and ChangeNOW ignores my questions regarding these case and refuses to return my funds!!!"

Thanks for bringing this up, I had no idea.

I, myself, personally have had a very good experience with them (over 250k in swaps all going perfectly). The one time I did need to contact support (due to my own error), they responded in minutes and explained what I had done wrong.

Either way, there does seem to be few scam reports on the https://b-i-t-cointalk.org/index.php?topic=5344863.msg57279341#msg57279341 (remove -) forum. I encourage everyone to DYOR!!

both are run by the same scammers.
If you sent them a high amount of money and they get the feeling you do not want to KYC at any cost you willl have trouble very quickly receiving your funds back
