Cheapest crypto trading bots in 2026: 13 fee schedules compared
In the DegenBench Fee Index, buying then selling $1,000 on Solana costs a new account from $0 on Sigma to $40 on copyfomo, with a median of $19 across the 13 bots that publish a firm Solana rate. Gas, priority fees and slippage come on top.
The cheapest trading bot is not the one with the lowest headline rate: cashback, tiers and referral discounts decide what you actually pay. The 13 below are ranked by their published fee, with net rates taken from official documentation and 30-day usage from DefiLlama. Bots without a firm per-trade rate, Terminal with only an “up to 1%” ceiling and Bankr with its plans, cannot be ranked here.

Trading bot fees comparison: headline rate against net rate
Three bots here go below 1%: Sigma charges nothing on Solana trades, fomo 0.50% a trade, and Banana Gun 0.5% on manual Ethereum trades, 1% elsewhere. Everything else starts at a 1% headline. Axiom publishes the exact ladder, 0.95% net at the first tier and 0.75% at the top after cashback paid in SOL, and gives referred users 10% off. o1.exchange documents 0.20-0.40% cashback on a 1% fee, landing between 0.60% and 0.80% net.
Others put the discount in cashback: Maestro returns 15-30% automatically, Trojan 20% on bot trades for a 0.80% net rate, Bloom charges referred users 0.9%, and BONKbot pays 5-25% by volume. GMGN charges a flat 1% and publishes no new-user discount, Photon a flat 1% with no referral page at all, and copyfomo the highest rate here at 2% a trade.
The lowest fee is not the whole bill
Every rate sits on top of network costs. GMGN states that gas, priority fee and slippage come on top of its 1%, and Bankr does not sell a percentage at all: five free messages a day, or $20 a month for Bankr Club, plus a 1.75% swap fee, the 0.7% pool fee included, on tokens launched through it. Sigma documents 0% trading fees on Solana while charging 1% on EVM chains, so the same bot can be the cheapest or the standard rate depending on the chain.
Check usage next to the price. GMGN's $8.67M in 30-day fees and Axiom's $21.1M come from DefiLlama; Sigma is not tracked there at all, and Banana Gun's 30-day figure is broken ($1.51K against $911K over a year). A low fee on a bot with no public usage data is a different bet from a low fee on the most used tool in the set.
Frequently asked questions
Which crypto trading bot has the lowest fees?
Sigma charges nothing on Solana trades, fomo charges 0.50% (0.45% with a referral code), and Banana Gun 0.5% on manual Ethereum trades. After cashback, o1.exchange reaches 0.60-0.80% net on a 1% fee, Axiom 0.75% net at its top tier, and Trojan 0.80% net after 20% cashback on bot trades. Everything else in this selection is at or above 1%.
What is the cheapest Solana trading bot?
fomo charges 0.50% on Solana, and Banana Gun's fee table puts Solana at 1%. Solana-only bots sit at 1% before cashback: BONKbot returns 5-25% by volume, Trojan 20% on bot trades, and Sigma documents 0% trading fees on Solana. Photon is a flat 1% with no referral perk and no discount of any kind.
Do trading bots charge monthly fees?
Most do not: the bots here take a percentage per trade, from 0.5% to 2%. Bankr is the exception, since it sells plans: five free messages a day, or $20 a month for Bankr Club. Maestro's Premium tier costs $200 a month for higher limits, and that sits on top of its own 1% trading fee.
How do I compare trading bot fees fairly?
Use the net rate on the chain you actually trade. Axiom nets 0.95-0.75%, o1.exchange 0.60-0.80%, Trojan 0.80%, Bloom 0.9% for referred users, and Banana Gun 1% on snipes. Then add the extras each one documents: GMGN states that gas, priority fee and slippage come on top of its 1%, and Sigma charges 0% only on Solana.
Is the cheapest bot the best one?
Not always. Below 1% you often give something up: Banana Gun refunded users after a September 2024 compromise, and Sigma publishes no independent usage data because DefiLlama does not track it. Axiom at 0.95-0.75% net, fomo at 0.50% and GMGN at 1% are the three most used tools here, and their fees are tracked publicly.
