Which one should you pick?
On a $5,000 trade, Photon is the cheaper of the two. Beyond cost it comes down to which fits how you trade — here's each in short.
Photon — The simple one
Photon has been around since 2023 and keeps things simple. It is stable, well documented and easy to learn, but it offers neither a referral discount nor cashback, so you pay the full 1 % on every trade, and it has fallen behind the others on features in 2026.
MEVX — Multi-chain with charts in chat
MEVX is a Telegram bot with a web dashboard that trades on Solana, Ethereum, BNB Chain, Base and Tron. It shows chart previews and holder analytics inside the chat, runs sniper and copy-trading modes, and manages multiple wallets. Published fee figures range from 0.8 % to 1 %, so we use 1 % until MEVX documents it; there is no documented discount for referred users.
