What each one charges, who licenses it, and how they rank against each other country by country.
CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money.
The short version
Exness isn't on any of our country lists, because none of its licensed companies is allowed to take clients from the 14 countries we cover. That rules out a head-to-head ranking. XM is on our lists in 8 countries.
We haven't found a fee they both publish in a way we can compare fairly, so the table below just shows what each one charges.
- Both run much of their business through offshore companies, where client protection is usually weaker.
- We list XM in 8 of the 14 countries we cover, and Exness in none of them.Edge: XM
