Best Solana trading bots: fees, sniping and copy trading compared

Ranked by the platform fee on a $1,000 Solana buy, the eight bots and terminals fall into two fee groups: LAB Terminal at 0.5% ($5.00 per $1,000 order); Trojan, Banana Gun, Bloom, Maestro, GMGN, Axiom and Photon at 1% ($10.00 per $1,000 order). Where two bots charge the same fee, the rank follows the Solana features in their docs (sniping, limit orders and copy trading), then whether you can export the wallet key.

A bot that trades often pays the fee many times. Ten buys and ten sells of $100 each pay $10.00 in platform fees on LAB Terminal and $20.00 on each of the others. Trojan, Maestro and Axiom pay part of the fee back to active traders as cashback or a rebate, per their docs.

Two bots in the ranking have a MemeFees referral code with a fee cut: GMGN, 30% off as an offer supplied to MemeFees, which makes a $1,000 order $7.00; Axiom, 10% off per Axiom's docs, which makes a $1,000 order $9.00. The rank uses the price without a code.

Each round trip, one buy and one sell, pays the fee two times. Before network fees, a token must gain 1.01% through LAB Terminal, or 2.02% through Trojan, Banana Gun, Bloom, Maestro, GMGN, Axiom and Photon to cover the platform fees.

Sniping on Solana is described in the docs of Trojan, Banana Gun, Bloom, Maestro, GMGN and Axiom. Limit orders: LAB Terminal, Trojan, Banana Gun, Bloom, Maestro, GMGN, Axiom and Photon. Copy trading, where the bot repeats the trades of a wallet you pick: Trojan, Banana Gun, Bloom, Maestro and GMGN. Trojan, Banana Gun, Bloom, Maestro and GMGN document all three. We found no copy trading page in the docs of LAB Terminal, Axiom and Photon, so the table says "Not in docs" there. That label means the docs are silent, not that the feature cannot exist.

LAB Terminal, Trojan, Banana Gun, Bloom and GMGN offer a Telegram bot and a web terminal. Maestro works inside Telegram, with no web terminal in its docs. Axiom and Photon are web terminals with no Telegram trading bot in their docs. LAB Terminal and Bloom also have a browser extension.

A Telegram bot works inside a Telegram chat. You send a token address to the bot and trade with the buttons in its reply, on a phone or a computer.

A web terminal runs in the browser. It shows charts, a feed of new tokens and your open positions on one screen. Some bots offer both, so you can switch between them.

Either way, the bot makes a trading wallet for you and signs the trades from it. The wallet key rules are in the next section.

A bot trades from a hot wallet that it creates for you, and the key rules differ. On LAB Terminal, Trojan and Axiom, you can export the private key or recovery phrase from the app at any time. Banana Gun, Bloom, Maestro and Photon display the private key only when the wallet is created. If you do not copy it then, you cannot move the wallet to another app later. The docs of GMGN say that private keys cannot be exported.

BullX is not ranked: on 1 October 2026, its app showed that trading was disabled, while withdrawals still worked. Read the BullX review for how to withdraw.

We did not audit the code or the security of any bot. We list no security incidents here, because we did not find an operator's own statement about one for the bots in the table. Each bot review gives more detail on the bot and its sources.

Buyers have little legal protection. In February 2025, the staff of the US SEC said that the meme coins it described are not securities, and that "neither meme coin purchasers nor holders are protected by the federal securities laws" (SEC staff statement).
