Reviewers see Coinbase as easy to start with, with a clean interface, simple buying and selling, real-time prices, a beginner-friendly wallet, and even usable API access. Several say it helps bring new people into crypto. But the praise is tempered by repeated complaints about high fees, weak customer support, network or app reliability problems, limited access to the broader crypto ecosystem, and in harsher cases blocked accounts or missing rewards. Separately, makers of
Fere AI and
MintLocke praise its onboarding and wallet tooling.
