How does Cardsbench rank crypto cards?

We rank cards by their estimated net cost per year at your spending: fees minus rewards, in your local currency. A fee the issuer does not list is never counted as zero, so a card with missing fees shows a partial estimate or none. Affiliate links never affect the order.
