SIDE-BY-SIDE COMPARISON
Variational Omni vs Lighter
Compare published fees and activity. Figures can cover different product scopes and timestamps; higher activity does not guarantee better execution.

VVariational Omni
Omni provides quoted execution against its liquidity provider. Compare the executable quote with the market; a zero trading fee does not remove the spread.
