Simple, swap-based pricing

Free to join and match. Each member pays a small platform fee upfront when you both approve the exchange — and only ever their own share. The more you swap, the lower your platform fee.

Sliding platform fee

5% – 1% per member

A sliding fee charged to each member on their own side of the agreed exchange value, paid upfront when you both approve the swap. The more you swap, the lower your platform fee. Capped at £25 per member, however big the swap. Founding offer: the first 50 members to swap pay no fee on their first swap.

  • Up to £5005%
  • £501 – £1,0004%
  • £1,001 – £2,5003%
  • £2,501 – £5,0002%
  • £5,001+1%

On a £400 exchange the fee is 5% per member, so you'd pay £20 upfront — and so would the other member.

What about VAT and tax?

Swaps are a barter arrangement between two businesses. Each member remains responsible for their own tax and VAT treatment of the value they receive. TradeSwap records the agreed value of every swap so you have a clear paper trail.
