Three differences to check before applying
Get the instrument's actual rate
Exness' Raw Spread overview says up to USD 3.50 per side, but its forex guide uses from USD 3.50. The instrument specification settles the quote. The calculator leaves Exness blank until you enter the complete trade's commission.
Do not count the closing fee twice
Exness says both commission sides are charged when the order opens. Check whether a figure on your ticket is per side or already the full trade before comparing it with VT Markets' round-turn amount.
Separate account tiers and regions
Raw Spread and Zero are distinct Exness accounts; RAW ECN and PRO ECN are distinct VT Markets tiers. Compare the account you can open and its actual funding threshold, not a different tier's headline.
Funding, platforms and source notes
Exness

The Raw Spread overview lists MT4 and MT5. Exness says both commission sides are collected when the order opens, so an opening debit may already include closing commission.

Common questions
Which is cheaper, Exness or VT Markets?

Which accounts does the cost example compare?
Exness: Raw Spread · MetaTrader · instrument-specific quote. VT Markets: RAW ECN · USD forex illustration. This is a USD EUR/USD illustration. Published commissions are scoped to the linked account documents, and the starting spreads are assumptions. Other entities, platforms, account tiers and currencies may price differently.
Does the brand's regulation apply to my account?
The legal company on your agreement determines which regulatory rules apply. Match that company to the official register and check whether it accepts retail clients in your country. A brand-wide score or a licence held by another group company does not settle this.
Can I open an account through Clarytrade?
