GMGN vs Every Other Terminal
Head-to-head comparisons built on numbers you can check, not on affiliate payouts. The one most readers want first is GMGN vs Photon. For the platform itself, start at the GMGNGuide homepage or the fee breakdown.
Where the Numbers Come From
Every revenue figure on this page is DefiLlama trailing 30-day fee data, pulled on 6 August 2026. Every fee percentage is quoted from the platform's own documentation. We print the source and the date because the rest of this category does not: the comparison pages currently ranking for these queries order their winners by affiliate rate and publish no dataset at all, which is how Photon ends up rated the best terminal of 2026 while collecting $0.51M against Axiom's $22.35M. If a figure here is unverified, we label it unverified rather than rounding it into a claim.
What GMGN Actually Is
GMGN is a multichain memecoin trading terminal and Telegram bot suite covering Solana, BSC, Ethereum, Base, Tron and Blast. It charges a flat 1% per trade, documented at one rate across every chain, with no subscription and no sniper surcharge. What you pay for is discovery and automation: the trenches and new-pair feeds, smart money and insider wallet tracking, wallet radar, the X tracker, contract security checks with honeypot detection, copy trading, limit orders, auto buy and sell, and trailing take-profit and stop-loss. The full picture is in what GMGN is, and the trading surface is covered in the trenches and sniper guide.
How to Read a Terminal Comparison
Nearly everyone in this category charges 1%, so headline fee separates almost nothing. What separates them is what happens to that 1% afterwards, which chains you can reach, and whether the automation you need exists. Axiom gives part of the fee back through volume tiers. Photon gives none of it back. Maestro sells a subscription that changes features without changing the rate. GMGN keeps the whole 1% and spends the difference on chain coverage and tooling, which is a defensible trade if you trade BSC or Base and a poor one if you only trade Solana. Price your own case against the GMGN fee guide, where priority fees and tips usually turn out to cost small traders more than the 1% does.

Best Memecoin Trading Terminal 2026: The Verdict
Axiom is the largest memecoin terminal by a wide margin, at $22.35M in trailing 30-day fees against GMGN's $9.31M on DefiLlama as of 6 August 2026, and its tiered net fee of 0.95% down to 0.75% is genuinely cheaper than GMGN's flat 1%. GMGN is the strongest second: it is the only terminal in the cohort with meaningful volume outside Solana, it leads the category on BSC, Ethereum and Base, and it ships copy trading, smart money tracking and contract security checks that Axiom does not match. On Solana alone GMGN is fourth, behind Axiom, fomo Wallet and Pump.fun's Terminal. Photon, Trojan, Maestro and BONKbot all charge the same 1% while collecting under a tenth of GMGN's fees, so the practical choice for most traders is between Axiom on price and GMGN on chain coverage and automation.
Terminal Fees and 30-Day Revenue, Side by Side
Revenue is DefiLlama trailing 30-day fees, pulled 6 August 2026. Rates are each platform's own published figure.
| Platform | 30d fees | Trading fee |
|---|---|---|
| Axiom | $22.35M | 1% base, 0.95% to 0.75% by volume tier |
| GMGN | $9.31M | 1% flat, no tiers |
| fomo Wallet | $8.23M | Not published |
| Terminal (Pump.fun) | $3.05M | 1%, set in the app bundle, not documented |
| Trojan | $0.97M | 1%, with Arena cashback tiers |
| Photon | $0.51M | 1% flat, no cashback |
| Maestro | $0.46M | 1%, plus optional $200/mo Premium |
| Moonshot | $0.32M | 2.5% under $100, 1% above |
| BONKbot | $0.10M | 1% flat |
BullX is left out of this table on purpose. Its DefiLlama fee line reads $192, which is a broken adapter summing one-lamport markers rather than a revenue collapse, so publishing it would be wrong in the other direction. fomo Wallet publishes no fee page, so its rate is listed as not published rather than guessed.
Every Comparison, One Line Each
The short answer for each rival. Linked rows have a full breakdown behind them.
| Platform | Verdict |
|---|---|
| Photon | GMGN collects roughly 18 times Photon’s 30-day fees on identical 1% pricing. Photon is declining steeply but is still open and still trading. |
| Axiom | Axiom is bigger and cheaper: $22.35M against GMGN’s $9.31M over 30 days, and a tiered net fee below GMGN’s flat 1%. GMGN answers with BSC, Base and Ethereum coverage plus copy trading. |
| Trojan | Same 1% headline, but Trojan rebates part of it through Arena ranks and runs Solana only. GMGN is about ten times larger by fees. |
| Maestro | Maestro covers more chains than anyone and still charges 1%. Its $200-a-month Premium buys features, not a lower fee, which several comparison sites get wrong. |
| BONKbot | Also 1%, Solana only, and down to $0.10M over 30 days. GMGN offers the wallet tracking and multichain reach BONKbot never built. |
| BullX | Its $192 DefiLlama figure is a broken fee adapter, not revenue. Real volume is still measurable, so treat BullX as diminished rather than dead. |
Axiom comes up in almost every one of these comparisons and has its own dedicated site in this family: axiompedia.com, which covers its tier table and cashback mechanics in more depth than a row here can.
