Risk notice: Crypto trading is high risk and memecoins can go to zero in minutes. Trading bots use hot wallets. This page is not financial advice; only trade what you can afford to lose.
This page ranks by cost only, so the order differs from our main ranking, which also weighs features, security, usage and ease of starting. We count only discounts the provider documents; unofficial "codes" don't count.
| Bot | Headline fee | Official cashback or discount | Net fee for a new user | Minimum | Source |

| Trojan | 1% | 20% cashback for all users | ~0.8% | None found | Trojan docs |
| FOMO | 0.5% | None published | 0.5% | $0.95 per trade on Solana | TechCrunch |
| Axiom | 1% | Volume cashback + 10% referral discount | ~0.86% (to 0.75% at top tier) | None found | Fees, referral |
| SolPump | 1% | 10% cashback on all trades + $SOLPUMP rewards | ~0.9% | None stated | Per SolPump, Sept 2026; SolPump rewards |
| GMGN | 1% | None published | 1% | None found | GMGN docs |

Fees checked September 26, 2026. SolPump's 1% base fee and 10% cashback come from SolPump (September 2026); it has no public fee docs page yet, and the fee is shown in the app. Its ~0.9% excludes $SOLPUMP token rewards, which are paid in a small-cap token and can lose value. Axiom's ~0.86% is our calculation: its 0.95% entry-tier net fee less the 10% referral discount. FOMO's minimum and rate come from TechCrunch, not FOMO's own site; FOMO's terms say the exact fee is shown before each trade, and a developer reply on its App Store listing says the minimum exists "to cover blockchain fees (including gas fees, token rent, and priority fees)".
Trojan's docs say "all Trojan users receive 20% cashback on every trade", and fees are charged only on successful transactions. That's about 0.8% from your first trade, with no volume target and no referral needed. See our Trojan review. Visit Trojan
At 0.5%, FOMO has the lowest headline rate we track, and TechCrunch reported it doesn't charge users gas. The $0.95 minimum on Solana means the rate only applies above about $190; below that, FOMO is the most expensive option here. See our FOMO review. Visit FOMO
Axiom's cashback ladder runs from 0.95% net (Wood) to 0.75% net (Champion), and referred users get 10% off on top. A new referred user pays about 0.86%; the docs don't spell out how the discount combines with higher tiers. See our Axiom referral code page. Visit Axiom
Per SolPump (September 2026), its terminal charges a 1% base fee and pays 10% cashback on all trades, about 0.9% net, plus $SOLPUMP token rewards (SolPump rewards). That puts it just behind Axiom's entry tier and ahead of the flat-1% bots. The rewards could lower your cost further, but $SOLPUMP is a small-cap token, so we don't count them. It's also our copy trading pick. See our SolPump review. Visit SolPump
All three document a flat 1% with no published new-user discount. GMGN's docs add "there are no additional charges" beyond network and launchpad fees. They may still suit you for other reasons: see GMGN, BONKbot and Photon.
Platform fee only, one side of a trade, new user (our calculations):
| Trade size | Trojan | FOMO | Axiom (entry, referred) | SolPump | 1% bots |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $20 | $0.16 | $0.95 | $0.17 | $0.18 | $0.20 |
| $100 | $0.80 | $0.95 | $0.86 | $0.90 | $1.00 |
| $250 | $2.00 | $1.25 | $2.14 | $2.25 | $2.50 |
| $1,000 | $8.00 | $5.00 | $8.55 | $9.00 | $10.00 |
Every round trip pays this twice.
Priority fees and tips. Paid to validators, not the bot. Solana's base fee is 5,000 lamports per signature, and priority fees are an optional extra (Solana docs). Axiom defaults to 0.001 SOL priority fee plus 0.001 SOL bribe (Axiom). Trojan's presets are 0.0015 SOL (Fast) and 0.0075 SOL (Turbo) per transaction. GMGN recommends 0.002-0.005 SOL total for normal trades (GMGN). On a $20 trade, these can cost more than the bot fee. Our priority fees and slippage guide explains how to set them.
Venue fees. Pump.fun charges 1.25% on its bonding curve, and PumpSwap pools charge 0.30% to 1.25% depending on market cap; graduation costs a one-time 0.015 SOL (Pump.fun, updated May 20, 2026). A 1% bot on a bonding-curve token costs about 4.5% round trip before priority fees and slippage.
Slippage. Not a fee, but on thin tokens it can cost more than all fees combined.
Minimums. FOMO's $0.95 floor is the one to watch. We didn't find a minimum fee in the other bots' docs.
Pump.fun's fee page says "none of the pump.fun frontend services (the pump.fun web app, pump.fun/advanced, and the pump.fun mobile app) charge any fees in addition to" the venue fees, with a note that some mobile users may see increases of up to 0.1% (Pump.fun, checked September 26, 2026). For Pump.fun tokens, that can be cheaper than any bot. You give up cashback, sniping, copy trading and most order types. Pump.fun's separate web terminal, Terminal (formerly Padre), is covered in best Pump.fun trading bot.
We ranked by the net platform fee a new user pays on a typical trade, using only discounts the provider documents, then checked minimums and default network costs. Fees are 30% of our standard rating; the formula is on our about page. We didn't trade with these bots; figures come from the linked sources, checked September 26, 2026.

FAQ
For small and medium trades, Trojan at about 0.8% net after its 20% cashback for all users. For trades above about $190, FOMO's 0.5% fee is lower, but its $0.95 minimum on Solana makes small trades expensive.
For a new user, no: Axiom's entry tier plus the 10% referral discount works out to about 0.86% (our calculation) versus Trojan's 0.8%. Axiom's net fee falls to 0.75% at its top cashback tier before the referral discount, so heavy traders can end up paying less.
Yes. They go to Solana validators, not the bot, but you pay them on every trade. Axiom defaults to 0.001 SOL priority fee and 0.001 SOL bribe, and Trojan's Fast preset is 0.0015 SOL.
Pump.fun's fee page says its web app, pump.fun/advanced and mobile app add no fees beyond the venue fees, though some mobile users may see up to 0.1% more. You'd give up bot tools like cashback, limit orders and MEV settings.
