SideShift.ai alternative: SideShift.ai vs Cambio, from its recent quotes

SideShift.ai is a no-account exchange known for its public API and for a fixed rate that holds for fifteen minutes. It builds its fees into the rate it shows rather than listing them. We do not yet check sideshift.ai’s own website, so every SideShift.ai figure on this page is an estimate, fitted from the quotes it gave Cambio, labelled Est., and never the basis of a claim.

The short answer

There is no same-time comparison with SideShift.ai yet. What this page can show is the shape of its pricing, coin by coin, estimated from its own quotes to Cambio, and it says so on every row.

Every figure for SideShift.ai below is Cambio’s estimate from the quotes it gave Cambio on 306 routes, marked Est. Your Cambio quote shows what arrives before you send anything.

SideShift.ai fees

SideShift.ai fees: the commission and the withdrawal fee

Commission. SideShift.ai publishes no commission figure. Its help centre says shift fees are integrated into the rate shown, so there is nothing separate to set against Cambio’s percentage; its cost is the distance between that rate and the market.

Withdrawal fee. Its developer documentation is more specific about the network side than most: it names a sending fee for delivering the coin to your wallet, plus an address fee and a receiving fee, and says these are estimated and vary with network conditions. It prints no amounts. The fixed part we fit on each payout coin is in the Est. rows.

What SideShift.ai’s quotes to Cambio imply, coin by coin

Each row is fitted from the quotes SideShift.ai returned to Cambio for that payout coin: a percentage below the market price plus a fixed amount. Its quotes were consistent enough for a clean fit; consistent is not the same as current, which is why every row is marked Est.

Est. = Cambio’s estimate from the quotes SideShift.ai gave Cambio on 306 routes. Below market = how far under the market price the quotes delivered; fixed part = the amount per payout the fit separated.

What SideShift.ai is good at

A public API, and a fixed rate that holds for fifteen minutes with fees included.

When SideShift.ai is the better choice

  • You want a fixed rate you can hold. SideShift.ai locks a fixed rate for fifteen minutes with fees included, according to its help centre. Cambio has one rate and no fixed option.
  • You are building on an API. SideShift.ai documents a public API for developers who put swaps inside their own product.
  • Its catalogue has your coin. Its list and Cambio’s overlap without matching; Cambio says before you send if a route is not offered.

When Cambio is the better choice

  • You want the network fee on its own line. Cambio’s quote states it separately; SideShift.ai’s fees sit inside the rate.
  • You want other exchanges beside your quote. Cambio shows other exchanges’ figures next to its own price, ranked by what arrives.
What we know about SideShift.ai

Is SideShift.ai safe?

SideShift.ai works without an account: a shift is one order to a deposit address it creates for you, paid out to the address you give.

Its help centre explains its two rate types plainly: a fixed rate is locked for fifteen minutes, fees included, and a variable rate is offered as the alternative. Its network-fee documentation says the fees it passes on are estimates that move with the network.

As with any exchange, send from a wallet you control and keep the transaction ID until the payout lands.

On Cambio it works differently: Your deposit goes to the one-time address shown for your order, and the selected execution route sends the payout to the destination wallet you provide. No account or stored balance is created.
