Apex Trader Review: An Automated Crypto Trading Tool

How Apex Trader Pricing Works

Apex Trader only has two subscription plans available for their trading bot services, and all new users are eligible for a free 7-day trial so that they can try before they buy. The only real difference between the two subscriptions is that one is for spot trading and the other is for margin trading. They both include the same access to all of Apex Trader’s features. Payments via PayPal or in crypto (BTC, ETH, LTC, USDC) are accepted. After the 7-day trial you can choose from one of the following options:

Apex (£30 a month)

• Spot trading bot for supported spot exchanges
• Access to all technical indicators
• No trade volume restrictions

Mako (£60 a month)

• Margin trading bot for supported margin exchange
• Access to all technical indicators
• No trade volume restrictions

Available Exchanges on Apex Trader

Apex Trader only provides support for four exchanges at this time, 3 of them are available for spot trading and the other is available for margin trading. This is surprising as some of the spot trading exchanges do have margin trading capabilities, but it is not supported by Mako. Here are the available exchanges:

• Binance (Apex – spot trading)
• KuCoin (Apex)
• Kraken (Apex)
• ByBit (Mako – margin trading)
