CoinRemitter vs Apirone
Two providers that charge nothing to accept payments and move the fee to withdrawal. CoinRemitter takes 0.23% on the way out and requires no identity check at registration. Apirone charges a fixed withdrawal fee and is non custodial. Custody decides this one.

CoinRemitter Apirone
On this page
The same pricing idea, executed differently#
Both invert the normal structure: accepting costs nothing and the charge lands on withdrawal. CoinRemitter takes 0.23% plus network fee; Apirone takes a fixed fee plus network cost.
A percentage and a fixed amount behave differently as you grow. At small withdrawal sizes a fixed fee dominates; at large ones a percentage does. Which suits you depends on how often and how much you take out rather than on revenue.
Custody separates them#
Apirone is non custodial: payments route to a wallet the merchant controls and the provider never holds funds. CoinRemitter is custodial, holding balances in an internal wallet until withdrawal, which is what makes its automatic withdrawal schedule possible.
That is the more consequential difference and it points in opposite directions. Non custodial removes counterparty risk and hands you key custody; custodial does the reverse. The custody guide covers what each side actually costs.
Verification#
CoinRemitter states explicitly that registration requires no identity verification, only an email address. Apirone publishes nothing about verification, which for a non custodial provider implies less to verify without documenting it.
For a merchant whose priority is starting quickly, one of these has answered the question and the other has not.
Reading this pair by business type#
A small store that wants to start today and does not want to manage keys takes CoinRemitter, where registration is trivial and withdrawals run automatically on a schedule.
A business that already manages a wallet and wants funds arriving in it directly takes Apirone, and the non custodial design removes the one risk that cannot be recovered from.
A business on WooCommerce or Magento can take either; both name those platforms among their integrations.
What to send both of them#
To Apirone: the asset list and the fixed withdrawal fee as a number, since neither is enumerated on the public pages.
To CoinRemitter: whether the 0.23% has a minimum, and what the gas station feature actually reduces, since both affect the real cost of frequent withdrawal.
To both: whether fiat settlement exists in any form, since neither documents one and a business needing bank currency has more work to do afterwards.
What this comparison leaves open#
Coverage. CoinRemitter names thirteen assets and Apirone enumerates none publicly, so a merchant needing a specific token on a specific network cannot resolve this from either card. Ask before integrating rather than after.
Neither publishes fiat settlement, which means both leave the conversion step entirely with you. For a business pricing goods in bank currency that is the largest open item on this page.
Networks differ more than the fee models do#
CoinRemitter names Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tron, BNB Chain, Litecoin, Dogecoin and Dash. Apirone names Bitcoin, Litecoin and Dogecoin, with no Ethereum and no Tron.
That is the decisive line for anyone receiving stablecoins, because the two chains carrying most stablecoin merchant volume are absent from one of these cards entirely. It is a larger difference than either fee structure.
Plugin coverage#
Apirone names WooCommerce, Magento, OpenCart and VirtueMart. CoinRemitter names WooCommerce, Magento and an API. Both are unusually well covered for providers at this end of the index.
VirtueMart appears nowhere else here, so a store running it has effectively one option on this page. Check your own platform before weighing anything else.
Where the fee actually lands#
CoinRemitter charges 0.23% of the withdrawal plus network cost; Apirone charges a fixed amount plus network cost. On a two hundred withdrawal the fixed fee is proportionally large; on a twenty thousand one it disappears.
Take twelve months of your own withdrawals and price both shapes against them. It is ten minutes of arithmetic and it settles more of this comparison than any feature discussion.
What each one asks of you at signup#
CoinRemitter states that registration needs an email address and no identity verification, on its own comparison table. Apirone publishes nothing about verification at all.
For a non-custodial provider, publishing nothing plausibly means there is less to verify, but that is inference rather than a statement, and this index does not print inference as fact. If starting today matters, one card has answered you and the other has not.
Neither documents fiat settlement#
So a business pricing goods in euro or dollars is arranging conversion separately in both cases, and that arrangement is the largest unpriced item on this page.
At Apirone it is structural: a provider that never holds your funds is not the shape that delivers bank transfers on a schedule. At CoinRemitter it is simply undocumented, since the provider already holds the balance and conversion is mechanically possible.
What this pair is genuinely good for#
A small store with modest volume that withdraws occasionally. Free acceptance means the cost of trying crypto is close to zero, and both providers make that true in slightly different ways.
It is a worse fit for a business withdrawing daily, where the charge lands repeatedly and a flat processing rate elsewhere starts to compete. The low-fee list puts both shapes beside the conventional ones.
How each one gets money out to you#
CoinRemitter runs withdrawals automatically on a schedule to an external wallet, which is possible precisely because it holds the balance. Apirone routes payments to your address as they arrive, so there is nothing to schedule.
For an operator without someone watching a dashboard, those are two solutions to the same exposure. One minimises the held balance; the other never creates one.

Questions merchants ask
Is it really free to accept payments at both?
Yes, on the published terms. Both move the charge to withdrawal, which is a genuinely different structure from the rest of this index and suits businesses that withdraw infrequently.
Which one holds my money?
CoinRemitter, until you withdraw. Apirone is non custodial and payments route to a wallet you control, so the provider never holds a balance on your behalf.
Is CoinRemitter or Apirone cheaper?
Neither publishes enough for a like-for-like answer. Apirone states no processing rate at all, so this comparison has to happen over email.
Can you run CoinRemitter and Apirone at once?
Yes. Two gateways side by side for one month is the cheapest way to find out how each behaves on your own order flow, which no amount of documentation answers. Here it is worth doing deliberately, because only Apirone settles to a wallet you control, and running both shows you what that difference means on your own order flow.
