Which one should you pick?

Pick Photon if

You want a straightforward web sniper without Telegram.

The original Solana web sniper, still running with a flat, documented 1% fee, limit and DCA orders, multi-wallet and MEV protection. Usage has dropped sharply, and its docs describe no referral perk.

Pick Banana Gun if

You trade Ethereum, Base or BSC launches from Telegram and want the lowest documented manual-trade fee.

The best-known EVM sniper: one account covers Ethereum, Base, BSC and newer chains like MegaETH, with a 0.5% fee on manual Ethereum trades and 1% on snipes and other chains. Its public usage data is broken right now, and a September 2024 bot compromise drained about $3M before users were refunded.
