Telegram trading bots compared: fees, sniping and risk controls

Nearly every bot here charges the same headline rate, so a list of rates settles very little on its own. We checked what 8 crypto Telegram trading bots take from a trade in 2026, and what the same cut costs a small account against a large one.

What does trading through a Telegram bot cost?

Across the 8 bots here, the cut on a trade runs from half a percent to one percent, taken as the order fills. Only one sells anything monthly, and that tier is billed beside the same cut rather than in place of it. So the bill tracks turnover, not a tier.

  • Opening any of the 8 costs nothing. Using one costs a share of every buy and every sell, taken as the order fills.
  • One bot in the group sells a monthly tier, and a subscriber still owes the same share of every trade as a free user.
  • Published rates sit between half a percent and one percent. Two bots on the same rate can still cost different money, because the discount lives in the rebate rather than in the headline.
  • Every trade also pays the network, and on a few launch venues a protocol fee lands on top of the bot's own cut.
  • One bot publishes nothing first-hand. The number we show for it comes from third-party reviews, and its record says so.

Banana Gun, the Telegram sniping bot for new Ethereum and Solana launches
Banana Gun

100DisclosureFree to startPer-trade fee

Once being early to an Ethereum launch is what you are paying for, and a slow fill is the expensive outcome. Banana Gun spans several networks with no subscription anywhere in the product, which leaves execution as the thing you are actually choosing.

Critical gapHistorical wallet-draining exploit vulnerabilities remain.

Plan table and expert take

Banana Gun: expert take

Placing the order yourself costs half what the sniper costs on Ethereum, the only manual discount in this category. Swaps between stablecoins are free. A large share of what it collects goes to token holders, which is a distribution rather than a trader rebate.

Where Banana Gun holds up

  • Top execution speed on Ethereum with MEV/front-run protection
  • 0.5% fee - competitive among Telegram bots
  • On-chain limit orders without centralized custody
  • Web app available alongside Telegram interface

Trojan, the Solana Telegram bot for active traders with copy trading
Trojan

100DisclosureFree to startPer-trade fee

Once you work positions rather than chase launches, with copy trades and limit orders doing the routine work. Trojan is built around repeat Solana trading, and its discounts follow cumulative volume rather than a plan.

Critical gapThe architecture experiences high latency during peak network congestion.

Plan table and expert take

Trojan: expert take

Cashback runs from roughly a tenth of the fee at the entry rank to nearly half at the top, and rank is bought with cumulative volume. A referral link cuts the headline rate as well. A new account collects none of it.

Where Trojan holds up

  • Better UX than most Telegram bots - cleaner command flows
  • DCA automation for position building
  • Copy trading with responsive execution on Solana
  • Active development and growing community

Bloom, the full-featured multi-network Telegram trading bot
Bloom

90DisclosureFree to startPer-trade fee

Letting presets and an away-from-keyboard mode place trades while you are not watching. Bloom carries the best user rating in the group, and it runs that automation on Solana and on the Ethereum side alike.

Critical gapThe bot lacks automated fallback mechanisms during Telegram API downtime.

Plan table and expert take

Bloom: expert take

You pay for automation, and automation is what produces the trades the fee comes out of. An automatic rebate lands without a referral link, so the effective rate sits under the posted one for everybody, which is unusual on this page.

Where Bloom holds up

  • AFK Mode for fully automated trading without active monitoring
  • Twitter Mode auto-trades tokens mentioned by selected accounts
  • True cross-chain support: Solana, ETH, BSC, Base, and more
  • In-bot bridge for moving tokens between chains
  • Chrome Extension for enhanced browser terminal integration

Photon, the fast Solana trading bot with a web app and Telegram interface
Photon

88DisclosureFree to startPer-trade fee

Watching a chart and firing the order in the same window, when the chat alone is too thin for the way you trade. Photon runs a web terminal beside the bot, and its published rate varies by source, so read it as a range and not a fixed rate.

Critical gapThe architecture exhibits significant trade failure rates during high volatility.

Plan table and expert take

Photon: expert take

The published rate depends on which source you read, which is a problem before any money moves. Slippage and priority settings are left to the operator, so two people on the same bot and the same trade can end the day with different totals.

Where Photon holds up

  • Full web trading terminal with real-time charts alongside Telegram
  • Competitive execution speed on Solana
  • New token discovery integrated into the interface
  • Better pre-trade visibility than command-only Telegram bots

Maestro, the multi-network Telegram trading bot with a paid Premium tier
Maestro

82DisclosureFree to startPer-trade fee

Trading across fourteen networks from one chat, when breadth beats a single fast lane. Maestro is the only bot here selling a monthly tier. What it raises is headroom: thirty concurrent trades instead of eight, and monitors that run four days rather than one.

Critical gapThe YAML configuration syntax creates a steep technical barrier for non-programmers during initial deployment.

Plan table and expert take

Maestro: expert take

The $200 Premium tier buys capacity, not a discount. It is charged beside the same cut every free user pays, so a subscriber carries both lines. Only volume cashback moves the effective rate, and it is graded by how much you already trade.

Where Maestro holds up

  • Multi-chain support: ETH, BSC, Arbitrum, Solana in one bot
  • Anti-rug contract detection to avoid honeypots
  • Sniper bot for token launch entries
  • Portfolio tracking accessible within Telegram

BullX, the multi-network Telegram trading bot with token charts and analytics
BullX

82DisclosureFree to startPer-trade fee

When you want the token data in front of you before the buy and will carry a heavier bill for it. BullX splits its coverage across two apps for different network families, and on some venues a protocol fee lands on top of its own.

Critical gapThe fee structure causes significant net capital erosion on small-volume trades.

Plan table and expert take

BullX: expert take

One order can collect three separate cuts: the bot's own, the fee of the execution venue, and a launchpad fee where that applies, all before the network is paid. Two apps split the networks between them, so check which one you are trading in.

Where BullX holds up

  • Deep Pump.fun integration for Solana meme launch trading
  • Full web terminal with advanced charts plus Telegram bot
  • Multi-chain support across Solana and EVM networks
  • Real-time new token discovery with launch metrics

BONKbot, the bare-bones fast Solana trading bot on Telegram
BONKbot

80DisclosureFree to startPer-trade fee

Buying and selling Solana tokens with nothing bolted on, when a fast fill is the entire requirement. BONKbot runs one flat rate for everybody and routes a slice of what it collects to a community treasury.

Critical gapNon-transparent transaction fee calculations and wallet security risks.

Plan table and expert take

BONKbot: expert take

The rate never moves for size, so a large account pays the same share as a beginner and gets rank cashback at best. Under it runs a network fee on every Solana trade, which the one-line rate card has no reason to mention.

Where BONKbot holds up

  • Fast execution on Solana - competitive for token launches
  • Extremely simple setup - trading within minutes of starting
  • Clean, minimal command interface with low learning curve
  • Built on active Solana BONK community infrastructure

PepeBoost, the budget Solana sniping and copy-trading Telegram bot
PepeBoost

80DisclosureFree to startPer-trade fee

Only if you are comfortable trading on a rate nobody has published. PepeBoost covers Solana sniping and copy trades at the same headline cut as the rest, but that figure comes from third-party reviews rather than a page of its own.

Critical gapBalance reconciliation errors occur after trade execution.

Plan table and expert take

PepeBoost: expert take

No official price exists to check, so the rate beside it comes from third-party reviews and may already be wrong. A referral discount is documented and the rest is inference, which is why the record carries the source instead of a vendor page.

Where PepeBoost holds up

  • Up to 30% fee cashback - best cashback offer in the Telegram bot category
  • Copy trading to mirror successful wallets in real time
  • Auto-sell rules for hands-off position exit management
  • Clean interface designed specifically for meme coin trading

Telegram bot questions: cost per trade, one percent at ten thousand

How much does a Telegram trading bot cost per trade?

Most take one percent of the trade, charged when the buy fills and charged again when you sell. A couple drop to half that in specific cases, and a referral link usually cuts a tenth from that. Nothing monthly is added to any of it, with one exception in the group.

Does Telegram charge for bots?

No. The messenger takes nothing from a trade and sells none of these bots. They are independent products that happen to run inside a chat window. The money they take comes off the trade you place: a share of every buy and every sell, deducted as the order fills. The assumption that Telegram is billing you is common enough to be worth answering plainly.

What does a one percent fee cost at ten thousand dollars a month?

A hundred dollars if you only buy. Sell the same position and the second leg costs another hundred, so a round trip on ten thousand dollars runs closer to two hundred. Push the same habit to a million a month and the rate takes ten thousand dollars out of it. The percentage never moved.

When is a free bot no longer the cheap option?

When turnover gets big enough that the percentage outruns any flat fee you might have paid instead. Free to open is not free to use, and a share of each trade has no ceiling above it. Only one bot here sells a monthly tier at all, and it bills that beside the cut rather than instead of it. So the usual way out of a percentage is closed.

Does paying a monthly tier cancel the per-trade cut?

No. The one subscription in this group is billed in addition to the same percentage every free user pays. Judge it as a separate purchase, because it leaves the cost of a trade exactly where it was. The two things that do move the rate here are a referral link and a volume rank.

What else comes out of a trade besides the bot's cut?

The network fee, always, and it is spent whether the trade lands or fails. Several bots also let you attach a priority payment to jump the queue, which is money you choose to spend rather than money the bot charges. A launch venue can add a protocol fee to the same order, so one buy sometimes carries three separate charges.

Can you get the rate down without trading more?

A referral link is the lever that works on day one, and it trims the rate by a tenth. One bot pays a small rebate automatically without one. The rest is earned: cashback ranks and volume rebates count what you have already traded, and the deepest rebate schedule pays back close to half the fee at its top rank. A new account starts at the bottom of all of them.

Who holds the money while a bot trades?

The bot does, in most cases. It creates a wallet for you inside the chat and keeps the key to it. That is the real trade you make for the convenience, and it weighs more as the balance grows. One bot here documents a non-custodial setup. The habit that survives either way is to leave only the working balance in there.

What does the bot's cut buy that an exchange fee does not?

Reach and automation, mostly. These bots trade pairs that are minutes old and place a buy on a new listing without you watching for it. They will also mirror another trader's orders, which no ordinary exchange account does. The rate is priced against that convenience, not against the cost of moving the tokens.

What does a failed trade cost?

The bot's percentage lands on successful trades only, so a failed one does not pay the bot. The network is paid for the attempt anyway, and any priority payment you attached goes with it. On a busy launch those attempts pile up quickly, and nobody advertises that line.
Field note 01

Telegram bot fees scale straight off your turnover

One percent of a thousand dollars is ten dollars, and nobody rearranges a trading habit over ten dollars. One percent of a million is ten thousand, and at that size the cut is the largest recurring cost in the account. Same bot, same rate, and two traders who should not be shopping the same way.

The share is taken twice on a round trip, once going in and once coming out, which doubles every figure above. Rebate tiers exist for that reason, and they are a discount for size. Ranks are earned on cumulative volume, so money flows back to the accounts already paying the most, and a new account gets nothing back at all.

Field note 02

Telegram bot fee differences the headline rate hides

The headline rate is close to identical across this page, so it decides almost nothing. How the trades get placed decides more. One bot charges half as much when you place the order by hand instead of letting the sniper do it, and swaps between stablecoins cost nothing at all there. Another sells modes that trade while you are away, and every order they open carries the full cut.

Then there is whether the rate is written down at all. All but one publish a fee schedule in advance of your first trade. The exception is documented only by review sites, and a figure from a review site is a weaker promise than one the vendor has to stand behind.

The verdict on crypto Telegram trading botsSigned review · Updated
Oleh KemFounder & Lead AnalystComparEdge Editorial
ProfileORCIDMethod

One rate covers this market, so the sticker decides nothing. The distance between two of these opens in what comes back to you afterwards.

Work out your monthly volume first. The same share of a percent is pocket change on a small account and a serious line on a large one. The rebate schedules that soften it begin at volumes a casual trader never sees. Read the rebate rules rather than the rank: on published terms these eight are level, and the order below the break is satisfaction alone.
