Use wallets that do have dynamic fees such as Electrum and blockchain.info. These services often imposed their own fees based on the lowest possible fee on the network for the transaction to be confirmed within the next block. Also, I believe that some mobile wallets support dynamic fees too such as Mycellium and could be handy as well.

Dynamic fee calculation sounds great, but it often doesn't work very well, and leaves users paying much more than necessary. I consistently send BTC using Electrum on the lowest fee setting (within 25 blocks). It's almost always included in the next block, and has never been delayed more than 2 blocks.

Anyone using the high fee setting to get immediate confirmation on Electrum (and other wallets...Core is even worse) is getting totally reamed on fees. Every single time. And I think this has created a bad feedback cycle where 1) users believe a high fee is necessary when it's not, then 2) persistently complain about the high fees.

Typical users have many less inputs to use on average than services like exchanges, and should expect to transact for considerably lower fees.

So yes, use Electrum, but you should probably use the lower fee settings if you use dynamic fees. Or just manually set much lower fees. And use RBF if necessary.

which wallet is better wallet as send fee low.
I meaning that transaction fee low.
Coinbase wallet is so much high transaction fee.
0.001 btc. its so much.
So little fee wallet needed
You can use any wallet that allows custom fees and send as low as you want. For ease of use you can use blockchain.info wallet, last I saw the min recommend was 5 sat/byte! that's good.
Well, theoretically you truly can customize the fees and make them as low as you want, but in fact there is some certain minimum for a regular fee and when lots of people perform transactions this minimum can be rather high. Of course it is not likely to be 0.001, though. But something like 0.0007 is likely to be seen, especially if you transfer small amounts of money.

Fees in mobile Mycelium wallet is also overpriced (imho). The low-prio fee was about 250sat/B when the mempool was just about to empty and most of the 5-20 sat/B transactions were processed intraday. OK, my transaction with the high fee was processed in 1 hour or so, but I was not in a hurry so the problem is that not every wallet lets you enter fee manually, but you have to choose from the dropdown list.
I don't like conspiracy theories but it does it make sense if big wallet providers runs miner farms as well and they send their overpriced transactions to themselves to mine? They can earn more on transactions and they can still mine bitcoins, double income...

For bitcoin web wallet i recommend blockchain.info, you can customize the fee and the fee for each transaction is depend, more fee more faster you transaction get confirmed. For dekstop wallet i recommend electrum wallet. 0.001btc fee for exchanges sites is normal though, that's why i never keep my coins on that kind of site.

I agree with you, blockchain wallet does offer a cheaper fee to us, I use it as well. I have several reasons why I use blockchain.
1. The transactions we do are safe
2. Our bitcoin is safe
3. Offer a relatively low fee
4. Available API for online shop merchant.
