Which one should you pick?
On a $5,000 trade, Padre / Terminal is the cheaper of the two. Beyond cost it comes down to which fits how you trade — here's each in short.
Padre / Terminal — Cheapest at volume
Padre, now called Terminal after Pump.fun acquired it, pays the highest cashback of any terminal: up to 35 % of your fees back when you join through a referral. New Pump.fun launches show up here first. The community is smaller and the analytics lighter than GMGN's, but on volume it is the cheapest option on this list.
Sol Trading Bot — Zero-fee partner tokens
Sol Trading Bot is a Solana-only Telegram bot with four sniper modes (Pump.fun, Moonshot, LaunchLab, BAGS), copy trading, DCA and limit orders. It charges 1 % per side and returns about 20 % of fees automatically to every user. Five partner tokens (BONK, WIF, JUP, WEN, MYRO) trade with no fee at all.
