Questions about CoinGate and Maksekeskus
These answers are generated from the two providers' actual figures, so they differ from comparison to comparison rather than being the same block of text on every page.
Which is cheaper, CoinGate or Maksekeskus?
On published percentage rates, Maksekeskus is cheaper: 0.90% against 1.00%, a difference of 0.10%. On €10,000 of monthly volume that is roughly €10.00 a month before fixed fees.
Does CoinGate or Maksekeskus cover more countries?
CoinGate lists 45 countries and Maksekeskus lists 4. Only CoinGate covers Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia and Cyprus and 36 others. Coverage here means the provider lists the country as served; it is not a guarantee that your specific business type will be onboarded there.
What payment methods does CoinGate support that Maksekeskus does not?
CoinGate supports Bitcoin, Lightning Network, Ethereum, Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC) and Stablecoins (general), which Maksekeskus does not. Maksekeskus supports Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, Google Pay and Manual bank transfer, which CoinGate does not. If a local method matters for your market, it is usually the single biggest conversion difference between two otherwise similar providers.
Which is easier to integrate, CoinGate or Maksekeskus?
CoinGate has a sandbox and supports webhooks. Maksekeskus does not publish a sandbox and does not publish webhooks. Whether you can get into a sandbox the same day, without a sales call, is a reasonable proxy for how the rest of the integration will go.
Is it worth switching from CoinGate to Maksekeskus?
Run your own numbers before deciding: the difference between CoinGate and Maksekeskus only matters against your actual volume, average ticket and cross-border share. Use the calculator above, then weigh the annual saving against the switching cost — re-integration, re-certification, losing stored card tokens unless the provider supports a network-token migration, and any notice period in your current contract. A saving under roughly 15 basis points rarely survives that arithmetic.
