By GhostSwap, one of the services listed. Rival facts come from each rival's own website (see Sources).

### Quick answer: what are good alternatives to SideShift.ai?

The main alternatives to SideShift.ai are GhostSwap, FixedFloat, StealthEX 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. If you came for Monero or Zcash, note that SideShift's public coin list had neither when we checked on 3 November 2026. GhostSwap needs no account, email or ID upload to start a swap and lists both, but it offers a floating rate only and has no app.

A SideShift.ai alternative is any service that swaps one coin for another, straight to your wallet, with no account.

## The shortlist

- **GhostSwap.** Best for: Monero and Zcash swaps with no account, email or ID upload, plus a Tor mirror.

- **FixedFloat.** Best for: a flat, published fee (0.5% floating, 1% fixed, plus the network fee).

- **StealthEX.** Best for: 2,000+ coins, fixed or floating rates, and an Android app.

- **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 SideShift.ai alternative

SideShift.ai trades between BTC, ETH, SOL "and 300+ other coins", sent directly to your wallet, with no sign-up form. People comparing it with other services usually point to these:

- **No Monero or Zcash right now.** Its public coin list had no XMR or ZEC on 3 November 2026, and both were already paused when we checked on 11 October. For privacy coins you need another route.

- **Not available everywhere.** Its terms (section 3.4) say the service isn't for citizens or residents of the USA, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Saint Kitts and Nevis, or Syria.

- **A shorter coin list.** SideShift gives 300+ coins. GhostSwap lists 1,600+ and StealthEX 2,000+ (each service's own figure).

- **Comparing the rate.** SideShift builds its fees into the rate it shows, so compare the amount you'd receive on each service, not the fee line.

SideShift's two rate types work like this: a fixed-rate shift locks the rate for 15 minutes, while a variable-rate shift sets its rate when your deposit is received and stays open for 7 days.

## 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](/monero-exchange/) and [Zcash](/zcash-exchange/) 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 and a younger track record. Most swaps finish within minutes. The exact time depends on how fast each network confirms your deposit.

### 2. 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](/fixedfloat-alternatives-no-kyc-2026/).

### 3. StealthEX

StealthEX says it "doesn't require users to sign up" and offers 2,000+ coins and tokens with fixed or floating rates. It has an Android app and also sells crypto for fiat. Its FAQ says you can swap without KYC, though verification "is needed in rare cases". Floating swaps have no maximum, but an exchange fails if the rate jumps more than 5% either way, and support then agrees a new rate or a refund. It quotes 5 to 30 minutes for most exchanges. Side by side: [GhostSwap vs StealthEX](/ghostswap-vs-stealthex/), or see [StealthEX alternatives](/stealthex-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](/trocador-alternatives-private-crypto-swap/).

### 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

- **Need Monero or Zcash?** SideShift's coin list had neither on 3 November. GhostSwap, FixedFloat, StealthEX and Exolix list Monero, and our [BTC to XMR page](/exchange/btc-xmr/) shows a live quote with the fee included.

- **Want a locked rate?** FixedFloat, StealthEX and Exolix offer fixed rates. GhostSwap is floating only.

- **Want several quotes at once?** Trocador compares partner exchanges on one screen.

- **Prefer a protocol to a company?** THORChain runs swaps on-chain from your own wallet.

- **Check where you can use it.** SideShift's terms exclude several countries, including the US. Read each service's terms for your country.

- **Compare like for like.** Quote the same pair and amount in the same minute, then compare the amount you'd receive.
