Advantage Gold and Rosland Capital open the same kind of account holding the same metal, so the difference between them is what they charge and what they will tell you before you commit. The figures below add the setup fee, the markup over spot and 10 years of administration and storage together, using each company's published schedule as checked on April 17, 2026.
What each costs over 10 years
| Transfer | Advantage Gold | Rosland Capital | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| $25,000 | $3,300 | $4,400 | $1,100 less with Advantage Gold |
| $50,000 | $4,550 | $6,400 | $1,850 less with Advantage Gold |
| $100,000 | $7,050 | $10,400 | $3,350 less with Advantage Gold |
| $250,000 | $14,550 | $22,400 | $7,850 less with Advantage Gold |
The markup over spot dominates every row. It is charged once on the way in, it scales with the amount rather than sitting flat, and at $100,000 it accounts for more of the total than a decade of administration and storage combined.
Where the cheaper option changes
There is no crossover between $5,000 and $500,000. Advantage Gold costs less at every size in that range on these published figures, which usually means it carries both the lower spread and the lower annual load rather than trading one against the other.
Run your own number through the fee calculator, since a table of four sizes is a sample rather than an answer for the amount you are actually moving.
What this comparison leaves out
Cost is the only dimension here. The regulator record, the complaint history and the buyback terms are not compiled for either company, and a cheaper account with worse conduct is not the better one.
