Quick answer: what are good alternatives to StealthEX?
The main alternatives to StealthEX are GhostSwap, SideShift.ai, FixedFloat and Exolix. Each one swaps coins straight to your own wallet with no account for a normal swap. Trocador compares several swap services in one place, and THORChain swaps native coins from your own wallet on a decentralized protocol. GhostSwap needs no account, email or ID upload to start a swap, has a Tor mirror and covers Monero and Zcash, but it offers a floating rate only, has no app and lists fewer coins than StealthEX.
A StealthEX alternative is any service that swaps one coin for another, straight to your wallet, with no account.
The shortlist
- GhostSwap. Best for: no account, email or ID upload to swap, a Tor mirror, and Monero and Zcash.
- SideShift.ai. Best for: a 15-minute fixed rate with fees built into the quote, where it’s available.
- FixedFloat. Best for: a flat, published fee (0.5% floating, 1% fixed, plus the network fee).
- Exolix. Best for: an aggregator with fixed or floating rates and Monero pairs.
- Trocador. Best for: comparing quotes from several swap services at once.
- THORChain. Best for: swapping native BTC, ETH or ZEC from your own wallet.

Why people look for a StealthEX alternative
StealthEX has 2,000+ coins and tokens, fixed and floating rates, fiat purchases and an Android app, and it needs no sign-up. People comparing it with other services usually point to these:
- Verification can still come up. Its FAQ says you can exchange without KYC, but that verification “is needed in rare cases”.
- The 5% rule. Its FAQ says an exchange fails if the rate jumps more than 5% up or down, and support then agrees a new rate or a refund with you. That adds a step when markets move fast.
- Timing. It says exchanges are generally processed in 5 to 30 minutes, depending on the network and blockchain conditions.
- Comparing the rate. Quote the same pair and amount on each service in the same minute and compare the amount you’d receive.

The alternatives, one by one
1. GhostSwap
GhostSwap is an instant swap service, live since October 2024. GhostSwap is a no-KYC crypto exchange: there’s no account, and we never ask for your name, email, phone number or identity documents to start a swap. You choose the coins, paste your receiving address and send the deposit. The coins go straight to your own wallet. It lists 1,600+ coins, with dedicated Monero and Zcash pages, and adds:
- a Tor onion mirror;
- a Telegram bot;
- a status page for every swap;
- an MCP server for AI agents.
The minuses: floating rate only, no app, fewer coins than StealthEX and a younger track record. Most swaps finish within minutes. The exact time depends on how fast each network confirms your deposit.
2. SideShift.ai
SideShift.ai trades between BTC, ETH, SOL “and 300+ other coins”, sent directly to your wallet, with no sign-up form. A fixed-rate shift locks the rate for 15 minutes, while a variable-rate shift sets its rate when your deposit is received. Fees are built into the rate it shows. Two limits: its public coin list had no Monero or Zcash on 3 November 2026, and its terms (section 3.4) exclude several countries, including the USA. More in SideShift alternatives.
3. FixedFloat
FixedFloat (ff.io) promises “no registration and unnecessary details”. Its fee is a flat percentage, each plus the network fee:
- 0.5% on a floating rate;
- 1% on a fixed rate, which freezes for 10 minutes.
It lists Monero pairs such as BTC to XMR but gives no total coin count. More in FixedFloat alternatives.
4. Exolix
Exolix calls itself a cryptocurrency exchange aggregator. It offers fixed and floating rates, Monero pairs such as BTC to XMR, and a mobile app, and an account is optional. Its KYC policy says it may ask for ID documents in some cases.
5. Trocador
Trocador is an aggregator. It compares rates from several partner exchanges and lets you pick one, and the swap then runs through the partner you choose. It suits people who want several quotes on one screen; terms, speed and support depend on that partner. More in Trocador alternatives.
6. THORChain
THORChain is a decentralized cross-chain protocol. Its homepage says there’s “no account to open” and “no sign up required”, and lists 14 blockchains, including Bitcoin, Ethereum and Zcash. Monero appears on its homepage but wasn’t available in the apps we checked. You swap from your own wallet through an app that integrates it. You pay gas to send, and the liquidity fee comes out of what you receive.
How to choose
- Want no ID step at all to start a swap? GhostSwap asks for no account, email or ID upload to start one. THORChain has no account at protocol level.
- Want a locked rate? StealthEX itself, SideShift.ai, FixedFloat and Exolix offer fixed rates. GhostSwap is floating only.
- Swapping into Monero or Zcash? GhostSwap, FixedFloat and Exolix list Monero; SideShift’s coin list had neither on 3 November. Our BTC to XMR page shows a live quote with the fee included.
- Need the biggest coin list or an app? StealthEX’s 2,000+ coins and Android app are hard to beat; stay with it if that’s what matters.
- Want several quotes at once? Trocador compares partner exchanges on one screen.
- Compare like for like. Quote the same pair and amount in the same minute, then compare the amount you’d receive.
