We watch the exchangers so you do not have to
Cryptosales is a rate aggregator and a monitor. We poll exchange services continuously, rank them by what you actually receive, and publish what we find — including the parts that are unflattering.
What this site is
There are hundreds of services that will swap one coin for another. Their rates move constantly, their reserves are finite, their limits are inconsistent, and a handful of them are outright dangerous. Comparing them by hand is a job.
We do that job continuously. A collector polls every listed service, normalises what it publishes into one vocabulary, and stores the result. When you open a direction, you see every offer for it at once, ordered by the amount that will land in your wallet.
What this site is not
We are not an exchange. We never hold your coins, we have no wallet with your name on it, and there is no account to open. Where a partner exposes an API we relay your order to them and show you their deposit address; where they do not, you finish on their site.
How we make money
Exchangers pay us a share of their fee when a swap comes from here. That is the whole business model, and it is why the outbound links carry an identifier.
Two things follow from that, and we want them stated plainly:
- The ordering is not for sale. The rate table sorts by payout. A partner cannot pay to sit above a better offer. Editorial placement exists, but it only breaks ties between identical numbers, and it is marked.
- A referral fee never changes your rate. The affiliate identifier tells the exchanger where the customer came from; it does not touch the pricing.
How a service gets listed
A service has to publish rates we can read — an API, or the standard XML export the industry uses. Beyond that we look at how long it has operated, whether its reserves match its claims, how it handles a stuck transaction, and what its users say when things go wrong.
Listings are not permanent. Services that stop paying out, start demanding documents mid-transaction, or go quiet on support get moved to the blacklist with the reason written down. We publish the reason rather than quietly removing the entry.
Reviews
Reviews are moderated before they appear. This is a site that ranks financial services, so an unmoderated review box would be a spam target and a defamation risk within a week. We remove reviews that are obviously fabricated in either direction — a competitor’s hit piece and a partner’s own five stars get the same treatment.
