Solz vs PandaTool: features, fees and which to use
Compare Solz and PandaTool for a Solana token launch, including creation fees, bundles, batch transfers, rent recovery, swap bots and which tool suits you.
Is Solz or PandaTool better for a Solana token launch?
They're close on the basics, and Solz is lower on token creation, updates and rent recovery. PandaTool includes revokes at creation, as Solz does, and adds swap bots, token cloning and other chains. Choose Solz for compressed airdrops, token locks and your own launchpad, and PandaTool if you need its bots or chains.
This comparison is accurate as of November 2, 2026, the date we checked it. Fees, features and limits on both tools can change after that, so confirm the current details on each tool before you decide.
Solz wrote this comparison, so check the figures yourself. PandaTool's fees come from its Solana tool pages, read without connecting a wallet. Some only appear once you've selected a token, and we say when we couldn't see one. Fees are in SOL, and leave out network fees and your own liquidity.
Which features does each tool offer?
Both cover the main Solana launch tools: tokens, Token-2022, vanity tokens, Pump.fun and BonkFun launches, Raydium and Meteora pools, batch transfers, snapshots and rent recovery. Solz adds compressed airdrops, token locks, your own launchpad and more launchpads. PandaTool adds swap bots, token cloning, a swap and tools for other chains.
"Yes" means the tool's own site lists it for Solana. "Not listed" means we couldn't find it there, not that it definitely doesn't exist.

How do Solz and PandaTool fees compare?
Solz is lower for creating a token, creating a Raydium pool, updating metadata and recovering rent. PandaTool can cost less on batch transfers, because it charges per transaction, not per wallet. Both charge 0.05 SOL to launch on Pump.fun, as shown on its form.
| Step | Solz | PandaTool |
|---|---|---|
| Create a token | 0.05 | 0.1 |
| Revoke mint or freeze at creation | No extra fee | No extra fee |
| Create a Token-2022 token | 0.05 | About 0.1 |
| Update metadata | 0.04 | 0.07 |
| Revoke after creation | 0.04 each | Not shown without a token selected |
| Create a Raydium pool | 0.06 | 0.09 |
| Create a Meteora pool | 0.06 for DAMM v2 | 0.002 for DLMM |
| Launch on Pump.fun, no bundle | 0.05 | 0.05 |
| Pump.fun Buy Bundle | +0.01 per wallet | Not shown without wallets imported, up to 6 wallets |
| Vanity token | Free for 1 to 2 letters, 0.1 for 3, up to 3.75 for 7 | 0.15 |
| Multisend | 0.001 per wallet | 0.01 per transaction |
| Recover rent from empty accounts | 0.00002 per account | From 4.88% of the rent |
"Not shown" means we couldn't see the amount on the page without selecting a token or wallet. The form shows it before you sign.
PandaTool's multisend fee is per transaction, so its cost per wallet depends on how many wallets fit in each one. Check the form for your list.
What does a basic launch cost on each tool?
A basic launch on Solz costs 0.135 SOL in service fees: create the token with mint and freeze revoked, create a pool, and burn the liquidity pool (LP) tokens. On PandaTool, the same creating and pool steps cost 0.19 SOL. We couldn't see its burn fee without a wallet, so its total leaves that out.
| Step | Solz | PandaTool |
|---|---|---|
| Create the token | 0.05 | 0.1 |
| Revoke mint and freeze at creation | No extra fee | No extra fee |
| Create a Raydium pool | 0.06 | 0.09 |
| Burn liquidity pool (LP) tokens | 0.025 | Not shown |
| Total | 0.135 | 0.19 or more |
Raydium's own fee and network fees come on top for both.
How much rent do you keep with each tool?
Solz charges a flat 0.00002 SOL per account to close empty token accounts, while PandaTool lists a share starting from 4.88%. For 100 empty accounts opened before Solana's rent reduction, holding 0.203928 SOL in total, you'd keep 0.201928 SOL with Solz, and at most about 0.1940 SOL with PandaTool, before network fees.

Where does PandaTool win?
PandaTool suits you if you want swap bots, token cloning or tools on other chains. It lists bots for Pump.fun and BonkFun, and has separate sites for networks such as Sui, TON and Tron. Its Meteora DLMM fee is also very low, and its per-transaction batch transfer fee could cost less than Solz's per-wallet fee.
- Swap bots: it has bots for Pump.fun and BonkFun, which Solz doesn't list.
- Token cloning: it can copy an existing token's details into a new one, for 0.1 SOL.
- Other chains: its main site covers networks including BSC and Ethereum, with separate sites for others.
- Batch transfers: at 0.01 SOL per transaction, a large list may cost less than 0.001 SOL per wallet. Compare your own list.
- Meteora DLMM: a 0.002 SOL fee, where Solz offers DAMM v2 pools.
Why choose Solz over PandaTool?
Choose Solz if your project is Solana-first and you want more than the basics. It's lower on token creation, updates and rent recovery, and covers more launchpads. It also lists compressed airdrops, token locks with a public page to verify them and your own launchpad, which we couldn't find on PandaTool's Solana site.
- Lower fees to start: 0.05 SOL to create a token, against 0.1 SOL.
- Keep more of your reclaimed rent: a flat 0.00002 SOL per account, against a share from 4.88%.
- More launchpads: LaunchLab, StonkFun and Bags, as well as Pump.fun and BonkFun.
- Compressed airdrops: compression saves about 60% when recipients have no token account yet.
- Token locks: a lock costs 0.002 SOL, and anyone can browse and verify locks.
- Your own launchpad: create a LaunchLab platform for 0.15 SOL and earn a share of its trading fees.
