No sign-up, free to use.

When Trocador is the better choice

- You want to buy or sell crypto with fiat money. SwapGun only swaps crypto to crypto.

- Privacy comes first: Trocador gives each exchange a privacy rating, and its site works with JavaScript turned off.
- You want a backstop: Trocador says it reimburses swaps that never arrive, up to an amount set per exchange, with exceptions such as AML blocks.
- You want to spend crypto on prepaid cards or gift cards, which Trocador also offers.
When SwapGun fits better
