A Pump.fun volume bot costs whatever the service charges plus the on-chain costs of every trade. In our console that's one number: a flat 1% of the target volume you pick, from 100 SOL of volume for 1 SOL. The fee covers network fees, priority fees, Jito tips, wallet funding and rent, so there is no separate trading budget to send.
The short version
- The real cost of a session is the fee plus every transaction fee, tip and rent deposit behind it.
- Some bots quote a low fee and then ask you to fund wallets with your own trading SOL.
- Our fee is a flat 1% of target volume, so 500 SOL of volume costs 5 SOL.
- Free bots exist as scripts, but you still pay every fee on-chain and carry the slippage.
- No fee buys trending, King of the Hill or graduation. It buys activity, and the page decides the rest.
How much does a Pump.fun volume bot cost?
It depends on the pricing model more than on the headline number. Two services can each say "from 1 SOL" and still end up 3x apart once the session is over. So don't compare fees. Compare total SOL out of your wallet for the same amount of volume.
Three models show up again and again:
- Flat percentage of target volume. You pick a volume goal and pay a fixed share of it. On-chain costs are inside the fee.
- Package pricing. A set price for a set duration or wallet count, with the volume it produces left vague.
- Service fee plus funded wallets. A small fee up front, then you deposit trading SOL that the bot cycles through, and you get back whatever survives fees and slippage.
Model three looks cheapest and often isn't. Every buy and sell pays Pump.fun's trading fee, a network fee and usually a priority fee, and those come out of your deposit. You only learn the real cost when the session ends and you check what's left.
We went with the first model. It's boring. It's also the only one where you know the number before you start.
What does the fee actually pay for?
A volume session is thousands of small Solana transactions sent from hundreds or thousands of wallets. Each of them costs something, and the list is longer than most people expect when they first look at a Pump.fun volume bot and wonder why it isn't free.
| Cost line | What it is | Who pays in our console |
|---|---|---|
| Network fees | The base fee on every Solana transaction | Included in the fee |
| Priority fees | Extra lamports so trades land during busy blocks | Included in the fee |
| Jito tips | Tips for bundled transactions that land together | Included in the fee |
| Wallet funding | SOL each fresh wallet needs to trade | Included in the fee |
| Account rent | Deposits for token accounts the wallets open | Included in the fee |
| Trading fees | Pump.fun or PumpSwap fee on every session buy and sell | Included in the fee |
| Trading capital | SOL cycled through buys and sells | Not needed from you |
Look at the last row. You never send a separate trading budget. You pay one bill.
Worked example: what does each volume target cost?
Math here is plain: take the target volume and multiply by 0.01. Below are the targets people pick most often, from the 100 SOL minimum up to a long session sized for a coin that already has a following.
| Target volume | Fee (1%) | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| 100 SOL | 1 SOL | A first test on a fresh launch |
| 250 SOL | 2.5 SOL | A short push in a quiet hour |
| 500 SOL | 5 SOL | A steady launch-day session |
| 1,000 SOL | 10 SOL | Several hours of two-sided flow |
| 2,500 SOL | 25 SOL | A long run that crosses into PumpSwap |
One add-on changes the number. Creator follows are optional and add 4% to 40% on top of the fee, depending on how many you ask for. On a 500 SOL session that's between 0.2 and 2 SOL extra. Replies, favorites and feed bumps at 2 to 20 per minute don't add anything.

What is the cheapest Pump.fun volume bot?
Cheapest means the lowest total cost per SOL of volume that still looks like real traders, measured after every fee, tip and lost lamport is counted, because a low sticker price on a session nobody believes is money thrown at a chart that fools no one. Nobody wins on the first half by skipping the second.
A service can halve its price by using 20 wallets instead of 2,000, trading in round sizes on a fixed timer and skipping priority fees so half the orders land late. You'd pay less and get a chart that any visitor with GMGN open reads as a script in about five seconds. What did you save, exactly?
So when you compare, ask four questions. How many separate wallets trade? Are order sizes random inside a range? Who pays gas and tips? And what happens to leftover SOL and tokens at the end?
Is there a free Pump.fun volume bot?
Sort of. Open-source scripts on GitHub cost nothing to download. Running them costs plenty.
You fund the wallets yourself, you pay every network fee and Pump.fun trading fee on every buy and sell, you lose a bit to slippage on each round trip, and you carry the risk that a bug or a leaked key drains the lot. Some free Telegram bots also make their money from a spread or a hidden fee in each swap, which you only notice when the numbers don't add up.
There's nothing wrong with running your own script if you know Solana well. Just price it honestly: the software is free, the volume isn't.
How much does it cost to trend on Pump.fun?
Nobody can quote this, and anyone who does is selling a guess. Pump.fun doesn't publish how its lists rank coins, and the bar moves with the hour: a quiet Sunday morning UTC needs far less activity to stand out than a busy weekday afternoon with dozens of launches every few minutes.
What we can say is how the money maps to activity. A 250 SOL session over an hour puts steady buys and sells from hundreds of separate wallets onto the coin, and to anyone who opens the page during that hour it looks like a busy market with new names in the trades tab every few seconds. The same 250 SOL spread across ten hours is thin. Budget and duration work together, and our guide to trending on Pump.fun covers the signals that matter beyond raw volume.
King of the Hill works differently again. It follows market cap and curve progress, and volume that buys and sells evenly doesn't push either very far. See how King of the Hill works before you size a session for it.
What does the fee not buy?
A lot, and we'd rather say so now than after you pay. Your fee buys a session that trades your target volume from fresh wallets. It doesn't buy a spot on any list, a King of the Hill crown, graduation to PumpSwap, a price level or a profit. Those depend on the coin, the thread, the timing and real buyers who show up.
Once the session starts, the fee isn't refundable. You can stop early by emailing support, and the session winds down, but you don't get SOL back.
Before sizing anything big, read whether a Pump.fun volume bot is safe for your coin. It takes five minutes.
How to budget your first session
Start at the minimum
Run 100 SOL of target volume for 1 SOL and watch how the coin page, the trades tab and the holder list respond.
Match duration to budget
Short sessions of 15 to 60 minutes look dense; long ones up to 10 hours look calm. Pick the feel you want, then size volume to fit.
Decide on extras
Replies, favorites and bumps are included. Creator follows add 4% to 40% of the fee, so only turn them on if the profile matters to you.
Pay and track
Paste the mint in the console, send the fee to the deposit address or scan the Solana Pay QR, and follow the session as it runs.
Most people who scale up do it after one small run. That's fine. A 1 SOL test tells you more than any price page.
Questions people actually ask
How much does a Pump.fun volume bot cost?
In our console the cost is a flat 1% of the target volume you choose. The minimum is 100 SOL of volume for a 1 SOL fee, and 1,000 SOL of volume costs 10 SOL. Network fees, priority fees, Jito tips, wallet funding and rent are included.
What is a fair Pump.fun volume bot price?
Judge price by total SOL spent per SOL of volume, not by the headline fee. A cheap fee that needs you to fund trading wallets can end up costing more once every trading fee and slippage is counted.
What is the cheapest Pump.fun volume bot?
The cheapest useful one gives the lowest total cost for volume that still reads as many separate traders. Services that cut wallet count or skip priority fees can charge less, but the chart looks automated.
Is there a free Pump.fun volume bot?
Open-source scripts are free to download, but you still pay every network fee, trading fee and bit of slippage from your own wallets. The software is free; the on-chain activity is not.
How much does it cost to trend on Pump.fun?
There is no fixed price. Pump.fun does not publish how it ranks coins, and the level of activity needed changes with the hour and the number of launches. A volume session adds activity; it cannot guarantee a trending spot.
Are there hidden costs on top of the fee?
No. The fee covers all on-chain costs of the session and you do not send trading capital. The only optional extra is creator follows, which add 4% to 40% of the fee and show in the summary before you pay.
Ready when your coin is
Paste your Pump.fun mint, shape the session and see the exact fee before you pay. Flat 1% of target volume, no wallet connection.
We run the sessions behind this console every day and update these guides when Pump.fun changes how the curve, the feed or PumpSwap work. Spotted something out of date? Write to support@pumpfunvolumebot.us.
