Exness Account Types — Where the Cost Sits
The five Exness accounts are three cost shapes rather than a ladder: cost inside the spread, a tighter spread with no commission, or a raw spread with a commission alongside it.
Open Exness Account →The five Exness account types are not a ladder from beginner to expert; they are three ways of placing the same cost. Standard and Standard Cent keep it entirely inside the quote at $0 commission with spreads from 0.3 pips and no minimum initial deposit. Pro narrows the quote to 0.1 pips while still charging $0 commission, at a $200 minimum deposit. Raw Spread and Zero move part of the cost out of the quote and into a commission, quoting from 0.0 pips.
Minimum deposit applicable; may vary based on payment method or geographic location.
Cost shape by account
- Cost inside the quote — Standard charges $0 commission with spreads from 0.3 pips and opens with no minimum initial deposit.
- Standard Cent shares that cost shape and differs in size: balances and lots are priced in cents, which changes what one pip is worth rather than what a trade costs.
- Tighter quote, still no commission — Pro keeps $0 commission with spreads from 0.1 pips and a $200 minimum deposit.
- Split cost — Raw Spread quotes from 0.0 pips and adds a commission up to $3.50 per side per lot, with a $200 minimum deposit.
- Cost mostly per trade — Zero puts 0.0 pip spreads on top instruments behind a small per-side commission.
Minimum deposit applicable; may vary based on payment method or geographic location.

| Standard Cent | Inside the spread | 0.3 pips | $0 | Balances and lots priced in cents |
| Pro | Inside the spread | 0.1 pips | $0 | $200 minimum deposit |
| Raw Spread | Split between spread and commission | 0.0 pips | up to $3.50 / side / lot | $200 minimum deposit |
| Zero | Mostly in the commission | 0.0 pips on top instruments | small per-side commission | Cost becomes visible per trade |

Why the choice follows trade size, not experience
A commission is charged per lot, while a spread is charged per trade regardless of how large it is. The two therefore cross over at a certain size: below it the quote-only accounts stay cheaper, above it the split-cost accounts do.
That crossover, not a level of skill, is what separates Standard and Pro from Raw Spread and Zero. A trader placing few small trades and a trader placing many large ones can reasonably end up on opposite sides of it.
What the cent account actually changes
Standard Cent prices balances and lots in cents. The cost shape is identical to Standard, so what moves is the size of one pip and therefore the size of a mistake.
It is a scale setting rather than a discount: the same market, the same spread from 0.3 pips, measured in smaller units.
What stays the same across all five
The account type does not change which platforms are available: MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5 and the Exness Terminal open the same way for each of them.
It also does not change the instrument list. What changes is the arithmetic of a single trade, which is why the comparison above is about cost placement and not about features.
