Which one should you pick?
On a $5,000 trade, BonkBot / Telemetry is the cheaper of the two. Beyond cost it comes down to which fits how you trade — here's each in short.
Maestro — The multi-chain veteran
Maestro is one of the oldest and most widely used Telegram trading bots, running on 14 chains including Solana, Ethereum, BSC, Base, Tron and TON. It charges a flat 1 % on every buy, sell and presale snipe, and its patented anti-rug and anti-MEV protection runs on every trade. A volume-based cashback of up to 30 % is paid in the native token of each chain, so we don't count it in the price.
BonkBot / Telemetry — The OG Solana bot, now a terminal
BonkBot was the first big Solana Telegram bot; Telemetry is its web and mobile terminal with sub-millisecond execution, wallet tracking for up to 800 wallets and a non-custodial passkey wallet. Both charge a flat 1 % per successful trade. On Telemetry a volume-based Level-Up program returns up to 25 % of fees in SOL. Volume has dropped a lot since the 2024 peak.
