01 · Summary
Winner summary
No blanket winner. Exness often edges familiarity and funding discussions in several retail markets. Vantage is a strong alternative when it is the broker you can actually open and fund. For Kodiac, both are Tier-A MT5 paths with non-custody balances.
Best for Exness
Exness — when you already completed Exness KYC/funding and want fastest desk connection.
Best for Vantage
Vantage — when Vantage onboarding is smoother in your corridor or you already hold a funded Vantage MT5 account.

03 · Costs
Fees
Both market standard and raw-style MT5 accounts depending on entity. Compare commission rules and swap policies in writing on each broker’s site, then confirm in MT5.
04 · Platforms
Platforms
MT5 credentials drive Kodiac desks for both. Do not mix servers between brokers.
05 · Execution
Execution
Judge execution with small live size after desk approval. Marketing “fill quality” claims without methodology are ignored here.
06 · Diligence
Regulation
Multi-entity on both sides. Match agreement → official site → regulator register. Kodiac remains Kodiac Capital Limited.
07 · Verdict
Final verdict
If Exness already works for deposits/withdrawals you rely on, stay. If Vantage is the account you can fund cleanly, use Vantage. Switching brokers mid-desk adds operational risk — finish one path end-to-end on Kodiac first.

Methodology
Comparisons use a fixed dimension set across pairs. Cells remain empty or marked pending until a human editor cites evidence. No winner is declared without documented criteria. Recommendations are use-case based (“best for”), not universal rankings. G3-07 added Exness vs XM and OANDA vs IG scorecards alongside Sprint 1 depth. We do not invent pip averages or licence numbers.
