Which one should you pick?
On a $5,000 trade, Sol Trading Bot 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.
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.
