Every type gives you access to broadly the same markets. What actually differs is the cost structure: whether you pay through the spread, through commission, or through both. The table below sets them side by side.
Everything on this page is educational. It is not investment advice.
All figures are approximate, quoted from the official Exness website, and can differ by country, instrument and market conditions.
| Account type | Minimum deposit | Spread from | Commission | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | No minimum to open; the deposit minimum depends on the channel you choose | From 0.2 pips | No commission | Beginners who want one visible cost line |
| Standard Cent | No minimum to open; the deposit minimum depends on the channel you choose | From 0.3 pips | No commission | Beginners trading very small cent lots |
| Pro | First deposit only, region-based (approximately $200) | From 0.1 pips | No commission | Experienced traders who want a lower spread without commission |
| Raw Spread | First deposit only, region-based (approximately $200) | From 0.0 pips | Up to $3.50 per lot per side | Frequent traders who want spread and commission shown separately |
| Zero | First deposit only, region-based (approximately $200) | From 0.0 pips | From $0.05 per lot per side | Very narrow spreads on major pairs |
"From" means the starting value the broker quotes, not the average you will see on every order. Spreads widen around major economic releases and at the daily rollover, so the number on your screen at 3pm is rarely the number you get at 3am.
Read on its own, that gap makes Cent look like the more expensive account. It usually is not, because a pip is a unit of price movement rather than a unit of money. What you actually pay is the spread in pips multiplied by the value of one pip at the position size you are trading — and a cent lot is a fraction of a standard lot, so each pip is worth proportionally less in your account currency.
At the position sizes a Cent account exists for, the cost of a single position is normally a fraction of the same idea traded on Standard. So compare the two in money per position at your own size, not in pips. The same logic applies in reverse when you compare Standard with Pro: a lower pip figure only becomes a lower bill once the size is large enough for it to matter.
Cost structure, who it suits, and the caveat that matters for that specific account.
A Standard account puts the entire cost inside the spread. There is no separate commission line, which makes it the easiest account to do arithmetic on: what you see quoted is what you pay.
The trade-off is a slightly wider spread than accounts that charge commission. If you trade a few positions a week, that difference is usually smaller than the effort of tracking commission on every order.
Best for: beginners, and anyone trading a handful of positions a week.
A Standard Cent account uses cent lots, so position sizes are a fraction of a normal Standard lot. Costs are charged through the spread, exactly as on Standard, with no separate commission.
The misunderstanding worth clearing up: cent lots are not a demo account. You are trading real money — the position size is simply much smaller, which makes the money at risk per trade easier to sit with while you learn.
One number needs context: Cent starts from 0.3 pips against Standard's 0.2, so it looks wider. In money per position it is usually smaller, because a pip at cent-lot size is worth a fraction of a pip at standard-lot size.
Best for: beginners who want real-market practice at the smallest workable size.
A Pro account quotes a narrower starting spread than Standard while still charging no commission. That suits traders who want a lower cost base without reconciling a commission line on every position.
Nothing formally restricts who can open it, but it rewards people who already understand that the spread on screen is a reference value, not the price you get on every fill.
Best for: experienced traders who already read spread as a cost.
A Raw Spread account splits cost into two transparent parts: a spread starting from around 0.0 pips, and commission per lot per side. Always add the two together before comparing it with any other account.
It only pays off once your position size or trade count is large enough that the spread you save exceeds the commission you add. On tiny positions the commission dominates.
Best for: frequent traders, scalpers and EA users who measure cost per position.
A Zero account targets very narrow spreads on major currency pairs and charges commission per lot per side, at a rate that can be higher than Raw Spread on some instruments.
If you mostly trade majors and open and close quickly, that combination keeps spread cost per position low. If you mostly trade other instruments, compare the instrument-level commission schedule before deciding.
Best for: strategies that open and close quickly on major pairs.
Is your budget small, and do you want to practise with very small positions first?
Then start with Standard Cent. Cent lots make each position several times smaller than a Standard lot, so the money at risk per trade stays inside a range you can reason about — and it is still live market practice, not a demo.
Are you new to trading, and have you never calculated the cost of a single position?
Then take Standard first. The whole cost is inside the spread, so you can see what one trade costs without adding commission yourself. Once that number is familiar, comparing accounts becomes meaningful.
Do you trade several positions a day, or regularly use sizes above 0.5 lots?
Then look at Raw Spread or Zero, and total up spread plus commission against Standard using your real trade count. That comparison, done with your own numbers, is the only one that answers whether it is cheaper.
Do you want a lower spread but no commission line to track?
Look at Pro: no commission, and a narrower starting spread than Standard. It assumes you already accept that quoted spreads move with session and news.
One caution: choosing the theoretically cheapest account is meaningless if you have no rule for managing risk. A few dollars saved per position is far smaller than the damage from holding a losing position for days.
