In-depth analysis

Entry and fees: Neither exchange asks for a minimum deposit. On spot Bybit charges 0.10% maker and 0.10% taker, Gate.io 0.2% maker/taker, with discounts for holders of its own GT token. Without the token discount, then, a trade on Gate.io costs twice as much. For derivatives Bybit quotes 0.02% maker and 0.055% taker; no futures fee is listed in the Gate.io record. If you want to calculate costs precisely, Bybit gives you the more complete basis.

Products and platforms: Both cover spot and derivatives. Bybit lists crypto, derivatives, futures, crypto options and a Launchpad, quotes over 500 cryptocurrencies, copy trading and high liquidity in derivatives trading, with a modern, intuitive interface. Gate.io lists crypto spot, crypto futures, crypto options, DeFi and NFTs and quotes over 1,700 cryptocurrencies — one of the largest altcoin selections — plus comprehensive DeFi and staking offerings. By its own profile the platform can be complex for beginners. Both run on their own web platform and app.

Profile and verdict: Bybit (4.2/5 from 1,600 reviews) was founded in 2018 and is headquartered in Dubai; Gate.io (3.9/5 from 800 reviews) has been running since 2013 and is based in the Cayman Islands. Both state their regulation as "various" and are not available in all jurisdictions; Gate.io explicitly has no EU banking licence. If you want low standard fees, copy trading and liquid derivatives, Bybit is the better fit; if you want the most altcoins, DeFi and staking under one roof and will use the GT discount, Gate.io is.
