Each 1% is $10
On $1,000, every 1% of fee or spread costs $10, and a typical "simple buy" screen can cost a few percent in total. Flat fees barely matter at this size; the percentage does. Compare the BTC you'd actually receive across a couple of options, not the advertised fee.
The price can move while you decide
Bitcoin can move a percent or more within an hour. Market orders fill at whatever the price is when they execute; the live price here is a guide, not a quote. Exchanges show the final amount before you confirm.
Keep records
Note the date, amount paid, fees and BTC received for every purchase. In the US you'll need this cost basis when you sell or spend. See how crypto is taxed and how to buy bitcoin safely.
