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 Based Bot if

You trade Base, Ethereum, BSC or Solana launches from Telegram and want one account that covers everything, from sniping to DCA.

The widest net on this list: one account trades 16 networks, from Base, Ethereum, BSC and Solana to Monad, MegaETH and HyperEVM, with a flat 1% fee. Its dual rewards program is the deepest here, 25% of your referrals’ fees plus a 5% to 25% cashback ladder on your own volume. Automations run from copytrading and sniping to social copytrading on X and DCA, and the same login opens a web terminal. Your private key sits hashed on its servers, tied to your Telegram account, and DefiLlama does not track it, so its usage can only be judged from Telegram.
