fomo vs the pump.fun app: what you pay to buy the same coin

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.

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.

The short version

If you are buying a coin that launched on pump.fun, the pump.fun app's own fee is the lower one at all three sizes. Since 17 October 2026 its web and mobile app charges a Platform Fee of 0.45% on every trade (0.40% if you applied a referral code). fomo’s fee on the same Solana trade has floors below $190 and a percentage above it.

The part that is the same everywhere

A pump.fun coin’s own fees are written into its on-chain program: on the bonding curve, 1.25% split between the coin’s creator and pump.fun, and on its PumpSwap pool after graduation, a rate that falls as the coin’s market value grows. You pay those on every app, fomo included, so they are left out of both rows, as every pool fee is. The Platform Fee is different: pump.fun charges it only in its own web and mobile app. Its Terminal and other apps do not charge it and charge their own fee instead.

What sits on top

• Network fee. On Solana, fomo pays the network fee for you. pump.fun’s fees page says its fees do not include network fees, so in its app you pay them.
• Other chains. On EVM chains, including Robinhood Chain, pump.fun says it pays the network fee but adds a further 0.10% to 0.15% and the bridge or swap provider’s fee. fomo charges its percentage and you pay the network fee.
• Codes. A pump.fun code takes its Platform Fee from 0.45% to 0.40%. A fomo code takes fomo’s percentage from 0.50% to 0.45% and leaves its small-trade amounts unchanged.

Perps

Both run perps on Hyperliquid and add their own fee to Hyperliquid’s on every order: up to 0.05% on pump.fun and up to 0.05% on fomo, so at Hyperliquid’s base tier a $1,000 position costs up to $0.95 per side on pump.fun and up to $0.95 on fomo; both publish only a maximum. pump.fun also charges up to 0.25% on transfers to and from Hyperliquid through its bridge; fomo says it charges nothing to move money between its cash and perps balances. Neither offers perps to people in the US.

Who each one suits

• The pump.fun app suits someone who mostly buys pump.fun coins, especially in small amounts, and who wants its Live section and launch feed in one place.
• fomo suits someone who also trades coins on other chains from one balance, who wants Solana network fees paid for them, or who wants a feed of other traders’ positions.

The UK is a prohibited jurisdiction in pump.fun’s terms; fomo’s terms list sanctioned regions only, though its tokenized stocks are not offered in the UK. Most pump.fun coins lose most of their value, whichever app you buy them in.
