A zero fee Solana trading bot is one that takes no bot fee on your trades. Thor offers exactly that through a subscription: pay $100 for 30 days and Thor's own fee on spot trading and bridging drops from 0.5% to 0% on Solana and every EVM chain.
If you trade memecoins often, the bot fee is usually your biggest cost after bad trades. This guide shows how per-trade fees add up, where the subscription breaks even, and what it does and does not cover.
How Per-Trade Bot Fees Add Up
Most Telegram trading bots take a percentage of every trade. Many charge 1%. Thor charges a flat 0.5% per spot trade on Solana and EVM chains, which is half that.
A percentage fee looks small on one trade, but it applies to every buy and every sell. A round trip (one buy plus one sell) pays the fee twice. If you buy 1 SOL of a token and sell it later, you paid the fee on both sides.
Active traders also turn over the same capital many times. A wallet with 10 SOL that rotates through 20 round trips a month has traded far more than 10 SOL of volume. That is why bot fees are best measured against monthly volume, not against your wallet size.
Note: All numbers in this guide count bot fees only. Network fees, priority fees, MEV-protection tips, slippage and third-party fees (DEXs, bridge providers, Hyperliquid, Polymarket) come on top with any bot.
Trading Bot Fees by Monthly Volume
Here is what you pay in bot fees per month at different spot volumes. Volume means the total value of all your buys and sells.
| Monthly spot volume | Bot at 1% | Thor at 0.5% | Thor with subscription (0%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| $5,000 | $50 | $25 | $100 |
| $10,000 | $100 | $50 | $100 |
| $20,000 | $200 | $100 | $100 |
| $50,000 | $500 | $250 | $100 |
| $100,000 | $1,000 | $500 | $100 |
| $500,000 | $5,000 | $2,500 | $100 |
The subscription column is the flat $100 price. Your Thor fee on covered trades is 0%, so the cost stays the same no matter how much you trade in those 30 days.
Break-Even Points
- Against Thor's 0.5% fee: $100 ÷ 0.5% = $20,000 of spot volume in 30 days. Above that, the subscription is cheaper than paying per trade.
- Against a bot that charges 1%: $100 ÷ 1% = $10,000 of spot volume in 30 days.
At $100,000 of monthly volume, the subscription saves $400 compared with Thor's 0.5% and $900 compared with a 1% bot. At $500,000, the gap is $2,400 and $4,900.
What Is the Cheapest Way to Use a Solana Trading Bot?
It depends on how much you trade. The math is simple:
- Under $20,000 a month: paying Thor's 0.5% per trade costs less than $100. Stay on pay as you go.
- Around $20,000 a month: both options cost about the same.
- Over $20,000 a month: the subscription costs less, and every extra dollar of volume is free of Thor fees.
Compared with a 1% bot, Thor's pay-as-you-go fee already halves your bot cost at any volume. The subscription then caps it at $100 once you pass $20,000.
Cashback Lowers the Pay-As-You-Go Rate
When you pay fees, Thor gives part of them back as cashback. Your tier rises with your trading volume and never goes down. Cashback is paid in SOL or the chain's own coin.
| Tier | Volume | Cashback |
|---|---|---|
| Bronze | $0 | 10% |
| Silver | $100K | 20% |
| Golden | $1M | 30% |
| Diamond | $5M | 40% |
| Platinum | $10M | 50% |
| Degen | $100M | 75% |
Cashback is a share of the fees you pay. With 10% cashback, a 0.5% fee works out to 0.45%, so the break-even moves up a little, to about $22,000 a month. With a subscription you pay no Thor fee on covered spot trades, so there is nothing to cash back on them. Rates can change; see Rewards and referrals.
What the Subscription Covers
According to the Subscription page and the Fees page:
| What | Normal Thor fee | With subscription |
|---|---|---|
| Spot trading (buy and sell) on Solana and EVM chains | 0.5% per trade | 0% |
| Bridge between Solana and EVM chains | 0.5% of the amount | 0% |
| Bridge to fund perps or predictions | No Thor fee | No Thor fee |
| Web extension trades | 0.25% per trade | Not waived |
| Social Sniper trades | Thor fee applies | Not waived |
| Perps on Hyperliquid | 0.05% builder fee, plus Hyperliquid fees | Not waived |
| Predictions on Polymarket | No Thor fee today, Polymarket fees apply | Not waived |
Spot trading means every buy and sell on Solana, Ethereum, Base, BNB Chain, Robinhood Chain and Arc through the Telegram bot and the Mini App. That includes trades from limit orders, take profit, stop loss, trailing stops, Auto buy, Auto sell and copy trading.

Auto Renew and Cancelling
Turn on auto renew to pay from your Thor wallet each month, so your fees do not jump back to 0.5% in the middle of a busy week. Keep enough in the wallet to cover the renewal.
You can cancel at any time. Your subscription stays active until the end of the period you paid for.
Thor Trading Bot
Warning: Subscriptions are non-refundable. If you are not sure you will trade $20,000 this month, start on pay as you go and subscribe once your volume is there.
Who the Subscription Is For
- Active memecoin traders who buy and sell several times a day on Solana. Pump.fun trading turns over capital fast. See how to buy on Pump.fun and how to sell on Pump.fun.
- Snipers who run Auto buy or Trenches buys and take many small positions. Trades from the Social Sniper Windows app are not covered by the subscription. Read the Pump.fun sniper bot guide.
- Copy traders following busy wallets, where every copied buy and sell counts as volume. See how to copy trade Solana wallets.
- Multi-chain traders who bridge between Solana and EVM chains often, since the 0.5% bridge fee is waived too.
It is less useful if you trade a few hundred dollars a week, or if most of your trading is Perps, Predictions or through the web extension. In those cases, pay as you go plus cashback is likely the better deal.
Tip: Add up a month of your buys and sells in Portfolio → History before you subscribe. If the total passes $20,000, the subscription would have saved you money.
Trade Spot With 0% Thor Fees
