The Fee Is Not the Differentiator
Solana Telegram trading bots have converged on a price. BonkBot charges 1% per successful swap. Trojan charges 1%. Photon charges 0.5%. Axiom, BullX, GMGN and most others sit in the same 0.5% to 1% band, with no subscription and no upfront cost.
That convergence means comparing bots on headline fee alone tells you very little. A 0.5% bot with worse routing can cost more per trade than a 1% bot with better fills, because execution quality shows up in the price you actually get rather than in the fee line.
The question worth asking is different: what happens to the fee after you pay it?
On every bot listed above, it is revenue. It funds the team, the infrastructure and the returns to whoever invested. That is a normal business model and there is nothing wrong with it.
SPT Sniper works differently. The 1% goes back to holders through Whale Club rewards rather than being kept.

What SPT Sniper Does
It is a Telegram trading bot for Solana. You trade from a chat window rather than a browser, which means from your phone, without a wallet extension, without opening a DEX.
Jupiter-routed execution. Every trade routes through Jupiter for best available pricing across Solana liquidity. Routing quality is the part of trading cost that most fee comparisons ignore, and it usually matters more than the difference between 0.5% and 1%.
Full SPL and Token-2022 support. Including tokens with transfer taxes and reflection mechanics, which some bots handle poorly or not at all.
Limit orders. Set a price and the bot executes when it is reached, without you watching.
Positions and PnL. Track what you hold and what it is worth from inside the chat. No spreadsheet, no separate portfolio tracker.
Autosnipe. An optional add-on that watches for new liquidity and executes the moment it appears, using Helius webhooks rather than polling. This is a separate paid feature rather than part of the base bot.
Weekly leaderboard. Trading volume ranks you against other users, with rewards for top positions.
Where the Fee Goes
This is the part that differs from every other bot on the list.
Trading fees collected by SPT Sniper are directed into Whale Club rewards, StakePoint's holder rewards programme. They are not retained as platform revenue.
Whale Club distributes SPT to qualifying holders monthly, scored on activity across the platform. Qualification requires holding a minimum SPT balance, so the fees recycle to committed holders rather than returning to whoever generated them. If you both trade through the bot and hold SPT, your trading activity feeds the pool you are being paid from.
Whether that appeals depends on whether you have a position in the ecosystem. If you are a pure trader with no SPT holding, you are paying the same 1% as you would on BonkBot or Trojan. If you hold, the fee stops being a pure cost.
The Wider Cost Picture
Worth knowing regardless of which bot you use, because the headline fee is a minority of what you actually pay.
Priority fees. Extra SOL paid to get your transaction into the next slot. Typically 0.1% to 0.3% of trade value during normal conditions, more during congestion.
Slippage. The gap between quoted and executed price, often 0.5% to 2% on volatile new tokens. On a fast-moving launch this dwarfs the bot fee entirely.
Network fees. Roughly 0.000005 SOL per transaction. Negligible.
Execution quality. The hardest to see and often the largest. A bot with inferior routing delivers worse fills, which can add 0.1% to 0.3% to your real cost even when its advertised fee is lower.
Add those up and a typical round trip costs somewhere between 3% and 6% all in, with the bot fee accounting for a fraction of it. Optimising for the headline rate alone is optimising the smallest variable.

What You Get
Jupiter routing on every trade. Best available pricing across Solana liquidity, which is the part of trading cost that matters more than the fee percentage and that most comparisons skip entirely.
Token-2022 handled properly. Transfer tax and reflection tokens are standard on newer launchpads and are where other bots quietly struggle. Trades on them execute accurately here.
Everything in one chat. Positions, limit orders, PnL and leaderboard ranking are all commands. No browser, no wallet extension, no switching between apps to see what you hold.
Automation when you want it. The optional autosnipe add-on watches for new liquidity through Helius webhooks and fires the instant it appears, rather than polling and arriving second.
Weekly leaderboard. Your trading volume ranks you against other users, with rewards at the top. You are competing for a pool your own fees helped build rather than paying into someone's revenue line.
Fees that come back. Every bot charges roughly the same. This is the only one where the fee returns to the ecosystem instead of leaving it.
Getting Started

/wallet for wallet details and balance
/snipe to configure automated buying

Paste a contract address at any point to set it as your target.
Common Questions
How much do Solana Telegram trading bots charge?
Most charge between 0.5% and 1% per trade with no subscription. BonkBot and Trojan charge 1%, Photon charges 0.5%, and Axiom, BullX and GMGN sit in the same range. Network and priority fees are additional on all of them.
What is the cheapest Solana trading bot?
By headline rate, bots charging 0.5% are cheapest. In practice total cost depends more on routing quality, slippage and priority fees than on the advertised percentage, so the cheapest headline rate is not always the cheapest trade.
Does SPT Sniper charge a subscription?
No subscription for trading. Automated sniping is an optional paid add-on, but the bot itself and manual trading through it require no ongoing payment.
What happens to the fees SPT Sniper collects?
They go into Whale Club rewards, StakePoint's holder rewards programme, rather than being retained as platform revenue. Whale Club distributes to qualifying SPT holders monthly based on platform activity.
Can I use it on mobile?
Yes. It runs entirely inside Telegram, so anywhere Telegram works the bot works. That is the main advantage of Telegram bots over web terminals.
Does it support Token-2022 tokens?
Yes, including tokens with transfer taxes and reflection mechanics. Support for Token-2022 extensions varies significantly across bots and is worth checking if you trade newer launches.
Is it faster than other bots?
Automated sniping uses Helius webhooks to detect new liquidity rather than polling, which removes the delay between an event happening and the bot noticing. For manual trades, execution speed depends primarily on Jupiter routing and your priority fee setting, the same as most bots.
