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.

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.

The short version

Moonshot and fomo both let you buy a memecoin on your phone a minute after downloading the app. On the fee for one Solana buy, fomo's own fee is the lower one at all three sizes. The gap is widest on small trades, where Moonshot’s minimum of about $0.99 applies, and on large ones, where Moonshot charges 1% against fomo’s lower percentage.

How Moonshot’s fee works

Moonshot’s help centre splits every trade’s cost into a “Moonshot fee” (the table above) and a “crypto fee” that covers the network and order routing and goes to third parties. Both show before you confirm. Its fee table lists $2 to $100 at 2.5% with a minimum of about $0.99, and $100+ at 1%, so a trade of exactly $100 sits in both bands; the table shows both readings.

fomo’s Solana fee has floors too, but lower ones, and it pays the Solana network fee for you.

Leverage and tokenized stocks

Both offer leveraged trading outside the US. Moonshot advertises up to 250x on SOL, ETH and BTC, charges a transaction fee on each open and close (in the perps table) and an hourly borrowing fee instead of funding payments. fomo’s perps run on Hyperliquid with up to 40x on BTC. Neither is available to US users, and Moonshot also excludes Canada and the UK. High leverage means a small price move can wipe out the position.

Both also offer tokenized stocks outside the US: Moonshot through Jupiter on Solana, fomo through tokens on Robinhood Chain.

Funding and custody

Moonshot routes card, bank, PayPal, Venmo and Apple Pay deposits through MoonPay, Coinbase, Robinhood, Binance or Revolut, depending on your region, and says the provider charges its own fee. fomo takes Apple Pay, debit card, Pay with Coinbase and, for some US accounts, bank transfers, and says it adds no fee of its own on Apple Pay deposits.

Both create a self-custodial wallet for you: Moonshot on Turnkey, with a secret phrase you can export; fomo on Privy, with a private key you can export.

Who each one suits

• Moonshot suits someone who wants its coin creation and its packs, or who wants to fund from PayPal or Venmo where those are offered.
• fomo suits someone who trades more than occasionally, since its fee is lower at every size in the table, or who wants chains beyond Solana and a feed of other traders.

Most small tokens lose most of their value; a lower fee does not change that.
