Plenty of them do two jobs: GMGN tracks wallets as well as it trades, Cielo grew copy trading on top of tracking, and most bots snipe and track. We file each one where it is strongest, and the reviews cover the rest.
New tools the week they launch. The settings and fees that quietly cost you money. Alpha I would tell a friend.

Quick answers
The short version
Never used a bot: BonkBot on Solana, or the FOMO app if you prefer a phone to Telegram.
Ethereum launches: Banana Gun. 0.5% on manual buys, half the market rate.
Brand-new chains: BasedBot. 19 networks, first almost every time.
Lowest fee at volume: not Axiom. Its 0.75% ladder sits under a fixed "priority" tip on Robinhood Chain that the chain ignores ($9.4M in ten weeks, no answer from Axiom). GMGN, 1% flat with no tip, is our pick; the GMGN vs Axiom page has the numbers.

How we're paid on this page: Maestro, Banana Gun, BasedBot, Photon, BonkBot, Trojan, GMGN, FOMO, Cielo, Nansen, Tator and Phantom pay us a referral share through marked links; Pump.fun does too, at a rate it does not publish and may set to zero. Axiom and BullX pay us nothing. Both groups get the same table, built from the same sources, with the same incident column.

I trade through these bots and apps with my own money, from Costa Rica, and I run a curated crypto community.
Every number here is checked against the official docs, or inside the app itself. Every check is dated.
When a bot has been hacked, this site says so. When something cannot be confirmed, it says that too.
Some links pay me. They are always marked, and they never change a verdict. Tools I cannot recommend get no link at all.
It depends on the chain you trade: Banana Gun on Ethereum launches, BonkBot or Trojan on Solana, BasedBot for brand-new chains. The comparison table shows why, cell by cell.
Are these bots safe?
They are custodial in practice: the wallet lives on the bot's servers, so deposit trading money, not savings. The full breakdown, exploits and refunds included, is on the safety page.
Why is it around 1% per trade everywhere?
Because it works commercially and nobody has broken the pricing yet. The real differences are cashback programs and volume tiers, all of them in the table.
