Exness account types: full comparison 

Exness offers five main trading account types: Standard, Standard Cent, Pro, Raw Spread and Zero. They are divided into Standard accounts and Professional accounts, with different pricing structures, execution methods and deposit requirements.

Standard and Standard Cent are generally simpler because there is no trading commission. Pro also has no trading commission but offers lower starting spreads and different execution conditions. Raw Spread and Zero use tighter spreads with a separate commission.

For traders in Tanzania, there is no need to choose an account type before visiting Exness. The safer approach is to go first to the official Exness website, register or sign in, and then compare the account types available in the Personal Area before creating a trading account.

The lowest spread does not automatically mean the lowest total trading cost. With Raw Spread and Zero, commission needs to be added to the spread when comparing the final cost of a trade.

Exness Standard account

The Exness Standard account is designed to provide straightforward trading conditions without a separate trading commission. Spreads start from 0.2 pips and orders use market execution.

The minimum first deposit is not one fixed amount for every user. It can depend on the payment method and geographic region registered on the account.

• Spreads from 0.2 pips
• No trading commission
• Market execution
• Minimum trade size from 0.01 lot
• Access to forex, commodities, cryptocurrencies, indices and stocks
• Available for real and demo trading

This account can be useful for traders who prefer to see most of the trading cost inside the spread rather than calculating a separate commission for every position.

Exness Standard Cent account

Standard Cent is another Standard-category account, but trading volume is measured in cent lots. This allows smaller position sizes than on a conventional Standard account and can make it useful for testing strategies with lower nominal exposure.

Spreads start from 0.3 pips and there is no trading commission. The minimum first deposit depends on the payment method and region rather than one universal amount.

Standard Cent is not available in every region, so Tanzanian users should check whether it appears among the account options in their Exness Personal Area.

Exness Standard vs Pro account

One of the most useful comparisons is Exness Standard vs Pro because both accounts avoid a separate trading commission, but their pricing and execution conditions differ.

Standard starts with wider spreads from 0.2 pips and uses market execution. Pro starts from 0.1 pips and can use instant execution for many instruments, while market execution applies in some cases.

A trader who wants simpler entry conditions may prefer Standard, while someone placing more frequent trades may pay more attention to Pro because of its lower starting spreads.

Exness Pro account

The Pro account belongs to Exness Professional accounts. It combines spreads from 0.1 pips with no trading commission, making it structurally different from Raw Spread and Zero.

The account can use instant execution for many instruments. Instant execution can produce requotes when the requested price is no longer available, while some instruments use market execution.

• Spreads from 0.1 pips
• No trading commission
• Professional-account initial deposit requirement
• Instant and market execution depending on instrument
• Minimum trade volume from 0.01 lot

Pro can therefore appeal to traders who want lower spreads without adding a commission to every trade.

Exness Raw Spread account

The Raw Spread account is designed around very low spreads and a separate trading commission. Spreads can start from 0.0 pips, while commission can reach up to $3.50 each side per lot depending on the instrument.

This means the real cost of a Raw Spread trade should be calculated as spread plus commission rather than looking only at the quoted spread.

For example, a 0.0-pip spread does not mean the trade is free. The separate commission still needs to be included when comparing Raw Spread with Standard or Pro.

When Raw Spread can make sense

Raw Spread is often considered by active traders who value tighter bid/ask pricing and are comfortable calculating trading costs through both spread and commission.

Whether it is cheaper than another account depends on the instrument, position size, trading frequency and actual spread at the moment the order is opened.

Exness Zero account

The Zero account is another Professional account with spreads starting from 0.0 pips and a separate commission. Its main distinction is the zero-spread model available on selected instruments for substantial parts of the trading day, depending on market conditions.

The commission is instrument-specific and starts from $0.02 each side per lot. This differs from Raw Spread, where commission can be up to $3.50 each side per lot.

Zero is therefore not simply a cheaper version of Raw Spread. The two accounts use different pricing structures and can produce different total costs depending on the instrument.

Exness Raw Spread vs Zero

Raw Spread vs Zero is mainly a comparison of how spread and commission are combined.

To compare the two properly, select the instrument you actually trade and calculate both the spread and commission. Looking only at the headline “0.0 pips” can give an incomplete picture.

Exness account types and minimum deposit

Minimum deposit is one of the biggest differences between Standard and Professional account categories.

Standard and Standard Cent use a minimum first deposit that depends on the payment method and geographic location. Professional accounts such as Pro, Raw Spread and Zero require a higher initial deposit, with the exact requirement depending on region.

Tanzanian users should check the current value inside the Personal Area instead of relying on a fixed amount published for another country.

For a detailed explanation, see the Exness minimum deposit guide.

Which Exness account has the lowest trading costs?

There is no single account that is cheapest for every instrument and trading style.

For occasional trading, the simplicity of Standard or Pro may be easier to understand. For frequent trading, Raw Spread or Zero may become more relevant, but only after comparing the actual total cost for the instruments being traded.

Execution differences between Exness accounts

Execution is another important difference that was missing from many simple account comparisons.

Standard, Standard Cent, Raw Spread and Zero generally use market execution. Pro can use instant execution for many instruments, while some instruments use market execution.

Neither execution method guarantees a better trading result. The practical difference becomes more noticeable during fast markets, large orders or short-term strategies.

Which trading platforms work with Exness account types?

Exness supports different account setups across MetaTrader and its own platform environment. Platform availability can depend on the account type and region.

Before creating a trading account, first go to the official Exness website, register or sign in, and check the platform/account combinations currently available in your Personal Area.

If you plan to use Expert Advisors or an existing MetaTrader setup, check platform compatibility before selecting the account.

How to choose an Exness account type

Instead of asking which account is universally “best,” compare the account characteristics with the way you plan to trade.

The account choice should also consider deposit requirement, instrument availability, platform compatibility, leverage and expected trading volume.

How to open the right Exness account from Tanzania

Start from the official Exness website rather than following a third-party registration or platform link.

1. Go to the official Exness website using the button on this page.
2. Register a Personal Area or sign in to your existing account.
3. Open the section for creating a new trading account.
4. Compare Standard, Standard Cent, Pro, Raw Spread and Zero where available.
5. Select MT4, MT5 or another supported platform option.
6. Choose real or demo trading.
7. Set the account currency and other available account parameters.
8. Create the trading account.

You can create more than one trading account in the same Personal Area, so comparing two account types does not necessarily require closing the first account.

Deposits and withdrawals by account type

The account type primarily changes trading conditions such as spread, commission and execution. Available deposit and withdrawal methods are shown in the Exness Personal Area and can depend on region and the payment method available to the user.

This means there is little value in choosing Raw Spread, Pro or Standard based only on a specific mobile-money or bank method mentioned in an old article.

For Tanzanian users, sign in to the official Exness Personal Area and check the Deposit and Withdrawal sections for the current payment methods, limits and processing information associated with the account.

Leverage and risk across Exness account types

Maximum leverage can vary according to account conditions, equity, instrument and registered entity. It should not be treated as a fixed property that permanently separates Standard, Pro, Raw Spread and Zero.

A lower spread or higher available leverage does not automatically make an account more suitable. Position size, margin and potential loss still need to be considered for every trade.

See our Exness leverage guide for a detailed explanation of leverage limits and margin rules.
