fomo alternatives, by what you actually want to do
No app is cheapest at every trade size, and the cheapest is not always the right one. Pick by what you need first, then check the fee at your size.
There is no single best fomo alternative: Axiom fits desktop traders, Hyperliquid directly is cheaper for perps outside the US, Coinbase and Robinhood fit someone who wants a regulated account, and the pump.fun app is cheaper for pump.fun coins. On a $1,000 Solana buy fomo's fee is $5.00 against $4.50 on the pump.fun app and $10.00 on Axiom (published schedules, read 10 November 2026).
What one spot buy costs
Each app's own fee on one buy, from its published schedule. fomo's rows come from its fee schedule through our fee engine; nobody's fee here is measured.

Each row is the app’s own fee on one trade and nothing else. Outside every row: pool and LP fees (including pump.fun’s on-chain protocol and creator fees, which apply on every app), any spread built into a quoted price, network fees unless the row says the app pays them, price impact, slippage and token taxes. Perps rows exclude funding (or Moonshot’s borrowing fee) and assume a market order at each venue’s base tier.
- fomo, Solana, lowest-fee route: Which Solana route is available changes from trade to trade, so the same size can cost either fomo Solana row.
- pump.fun app: pump.fun's on-chain protocol, creator and LP fees apply to its coins on every app, fomo included, so they sit outside this row.
- Axiom: Axiom pays cashback in SOL on its fee: 0.05% at the lowest tier, up to 0.25% at the highest.
- Robinhood: Robinhood earns on default-routed orders through the spread and volume rebates from market makers; it does not publish the spread.
- Coinbase: Coinbase shows its fee and spread on the order preview; its disclosures say both vary by payment method, order size, asset and location.
What a perps trade costs
Perps (perpetual futures) let you bet on a price with borrowed money; the fee is charged on the full position size, not your margin. Bars: opening a $1,000 position with a market order.

Per side means one execution: you pay it again when you close. Excludes funding payments (or Moonshot's borrowing fee) and assumes the lowest volume tier with no staking or referral discount. On Hyperliquid's stock, commodity and other builder-deployed markets the Hyperliquid part of the fee is set per market. fomo and pump.fun publish only a maximum for their own part, so their rows read "up to". fomo's minimum position is 15 USDC.
- Moonshot: Moonshot charges an hourly borrowing fee instead of funding payments; it is not in this number.
Pick by use case
You trade from a desk, often and fast. Use a terminal. Axiom is a web terminal with wallet tracking, an X monitor and multiple wallets. Its 1%, about 0.95% net of cashback fee is lower than fomo’s on small Solana buys and higher on large ones: neither is cheaper at every size: Axiom is lower at $25, fomo at $100 and $1,000.
You mostly buy pump.fun coins. The pump.fun app charges 0.45% on its own coins, and the pump.fun app's own fee is the lower one at all three sizes. The coin’s on-chain fees are the same on both.
You want one wallet for everything, including Bitcoin. Phantom is a full multichain wallet with swaps at 0.85% on most swaps. On cost, neither is cheaper at every size: Phantom is lower at $25 and $100, fomo at $1,000.
You want a phone app for memecoins. fomo and Moonshot both do this; on the fee, fomo's own fee is the lower one at all three sizes. Moonshot offers coin creation and its packs.
You trade perps, outside the US. Hyperliquid directly charges $0.45 to open a $1,000 position at its base tier; fomo, Phantom and the pump.fun app each add their own fee on top. You give up fomo’s one-balance setup and phone app.
You trade perps in the US. fomo, Hyperliquid, Phantom, Moonshot and the pump.fun app all exclude US users from perps. Coinbase lists perpetual-style futures for US customers on its CFTC-regulated derivatives exchange; see fomo vs Coinbase.
You want a regulated, bank-style account. Coinbase or Robinhood. Both hold the crypto for you and sell large coins; neither lists most of the small tokens fomo trades. Robinhood’s standard trades have no commission but an unpublished spread; Coinbase shows its fee on the order preview rather than publishing a schedule.
You want to see what other traders buy. This is fomo’s strongest case: every trade shows up in a feed, with theses, leaderboards and clans. It has no copy trading. Phantom’s Live Trades can prefill a copy of someone’s perp trade for you to confirm.
What none of them change
Every app on this page passes the market through: pool fees, price impact and slippage are set by the token’s pools, not by the app, and every row leaves them out. A lower app fee does not make a small token safer. Most small tokens lose most of their value, and leverage can wipe out a position fast.
How to check the fee at your size
The tables above use $25, $100 and $1,000. For any other size, fomo’s fee calculator runs the same engine as these pages, and the small trades bench shows where fomo’s floors stop. What fomo traders actually paid, measured from public data, is on the Bench.
JomoBench is independent and unofficial; it is not run by fomo or any app on this page. Fees are each app's published schedule as read on the dates in the sources; the fee shown in an app before you confirm always wins. Some outbound links may pay us; that never changes a number here (disclosure, methodology).
Questions people ask
Does fomo have a desktop app?
fomo has a web app at fomo.family alongside its iOS and Android apps, and perps work on all three. If you want a dedicated desktop trading terminal, Axiom is built for that.
Is fomo a good trading app?
For phone-first traders it is cheaper than Phantom, Axiom and Moonshot on large Solana buys ($5.00 on $1,000) and shows every trade in a social feed, but small trades pay floors ($0.50 to $0.95 on $25) and its perps are closed to US users.
