Axi offers three account types, and it is hard to tell which one keeps trading costs lower. The basic choice is between the commission-free Standard and the Premium with a USD 4.5 round-turn commission.
This article compares spreads, commissions and first-deposit amounts in tables. It uses Axi's official site (checked 17 October 2026) and the data registered on this site. By the end, you can decide which account suits you.
In short: Axi has three account types, and the choice comes down to cost and first deposit
- There are three accounts: Standard, Premium and Elite (maximum leverage is 1:1000 on all three)
- Standard: no trading commission. EUR/USD spread from 0.7 pips
- Premium: spread from 0.0 pips plus a USD 4.5 round-turn commission. First deposit is USD 500
- Elite: spread from 0.0 pips plus a USD 3.5 round-turn commission. First deposit is USD 25,000
Per lot, the total including commission is about 0.7 pips for Standard, 0.45 pips for Premium and 0.35 pips for Elite (EUR/USD, minimum-spread basis). Premium and Elite do have a first-deposit threshold, though.

Axi spreads compared: the Premium commission equals 0.45 pips
The spread is the gap between the buy price and the sell price. It is a real cost on every trade. A pip is the smallest standard move in an exchange rate. For EUR/USD, 1 pip is USD 0.0001.
Premium and Elite have narrower spreads, but a separate round-turn commission applies. This is the total charged for opening and closing. On 1 lot of EUR/USD, 1 pip is about USD 10. So USD 4.5 equals 0.45 pips, and USD 3.5 equals 0.35 pips.
| Account | Spread | Commission in pips | Approximate total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | 0.7 pips | 0 pips | About 0.7 pips |
| Premium | 0.0 pips | 0.45 pips | About 0.45 pips |
| Elite | 0.0 pips | 0.35 pips | About 0.35 pips |
※ The spread shown is the lowest published figure. It can widen when an order is actually filled. The commission is charged at a fixed amount on every trade.
Axi first deposit: no threshold for Standard, USD 500 for Premium
