Updated:
MEXC leads on 2 of 3 criteria against 1 for Bitget — the rest are close enough to call a draw. Which of them matters depends on what you need the exchange for.

Rows marked “Reference” show catalogue width — the size of the listing, not the quality of the exchange — and do not count towards the overall result. The result comes from three substantive criteria: staking rates, average withdrawal fee and network availability.
The table shows the average USDT fee across the same set of networks where both exchanges allow withdrawals and publish a fee. The summary shows the fee on the named network (TRC20 first, then other networks), not the absolute minimum. The cheapest transfer between these exchanges is calculated separately and requires deposits on the receiving side.
Which one for which job
An overall score decides little: the two exchanges win on different axes. Here is which ones, with the number next to each.

This pair has no data for that coin.
The fee is the cheapest network with withdrawals open at each exchange; the networks are named separately below the numbers because they often differ. A dash means “not in our data”, not “unsupported”.
How these two differ
Do not plan a deposit around an assumed no-KYC withdrawal allowance. MEXC publishes 80 BTC/day for Primary KYC and 200 BTC/day for Advanced KYC. Unverified access depends on the region and account restrictions; verification may be required before withdrawal. An approved withdrawal appeal leaves withdrawal and position-closing permissions only. MEXC KYC FAQ.

Access and verification
These terms change more often than the numbers above: every fact carries a check date and a source link.
| Criteria | Bitget | MEXC |
|---|---|---|
| Verification (KYC) | BitgetRequired | MEXCTiered |
Since 1 September 2023 Level 1 verification is mandatory for new accounts; users registered earlier were given until 1 October 2023. After that an unverified account keeps withdrawals, order cancellation, subscription redemption and position closing — opening new trades is blocked.

This is not legal advice. Exchanges change their rules without notice — check the terms on the platform itself before funding an account.

A route requires open withdrawals at the sender and deposits at the receiver on the same network and in the same token form. Selection requires a known fee and a withdrawal minimum compatible with 1,000 USDT. The fee shown is the sender withdrawal fee; verify the terms at both exchanges before transferring.
Moving funds between exchanges is an ordinary blockchain transaction: only the sender pays a fee.
- Pick a network open on both sides: the cheapest right now is BSC — 0.01 USDT on a $1,000 transfer.
- Copy the deposit address on the receiving exchange for that exact network — a transfer sent to the wrong one cannot always be recovered.
- Check the minimum withdrawal: on small transfers it matters more than the fee.
- Send it and wait for confirmations in the network explorer.

A change means the value moved between samples, not the sample itself: polling records the rate regularly, and without that collapse "changes" would simply equal the number of readings.
Withdrawal Fee Comparison
Each row compares one coin on one shared network; fees are in units of that coin. BTC includes only Bitcoin and the separate SegWit option; BTC representations on BSC, X Layer and other chains are excluded. The network and token form must match the receiving address details. Open withdrawals do not guarantee open deposits.
