Terminal alternatives
Thinking of leaving Terminal? Here's what else traders use for trading terminals, compared on the fee you'll pay and what each one does best.
| Tool | Fee | Works on | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
 Terminal | Fee per trade, part paid back as SOL cashback | Web | Cashback and multichain |
 Axiom | 1% per swap, with 0.05–0.25% SOL cashback by tier | Web, iOS | All-in-one trading |
 GMGN | 1% per trade, no subscription | Web, Telegram, iOS, Android | Following smart money |
 Photon | 1% per trade (widely reported) | Web | Simple sniping |
Why people leave Terminal
- Name and domain don't match (Terminal vs padre.gg), which confuses people
- Exact fee isn't published outside the app
- Fewer side tools than Axiom
Axiom
New launches, perps, wallet tracking and yield in one screen, built for traders who live in the trenches.
Pick it if: fastest view of new launches with bundle and dev checks. Skip it if: 1% per swap (0.75% net at best) adds up at high volume.
GMGN
Follow smart-money wallets and trade the tokens they buy, from the same tab.
Pick it if: wallet labels on every token page. Skip it if: busy interface with a learning curve.
Photon
Snipe new Solana pairs the second they launch, set limit orders and sell fast, all from one browser tab.
Pick it if: fewer distractions than newer terminals. Skip it if: no phone app.
