🚨 WARNING: SplitNOW are (double) cheats
We just wrapped up a round of "mystery swapper" tests for all the services we list on
https://OrangeFren.com and included SplitNOW as they're heavily promoted across socials
Their UI showed we’d receive 0.001549 BTC (status: 100% done), but only 0.001514 BTC actually arrived — that’s ~2.3% less than their own displayed amount, and ~7.8% below their initial quote. On-chain proof captured. No market move explains it; they simply pay less than they show.
Don’t use SplitNOW!!
Full results:
After adjusting for how the market moved all except NanSwap, Quickex and of course SplitNOW paid more than their initial promise.
For your viewing pleasure, here's a table showing what fee the swapper actually charged
- PegasusSwap, Exolix, 0trace ex aequo - all free
- SplitNOW is daytime robbery
Two disclaimers: firstly we did swaps using our own links, secondly table to summarise results was made with AI :)
