Compare the routes
Launch a memecoin in 2026: every route, compared
Five ways to get a coin live, priced on the day from each vendor's own page, next to the one number that separates them: what you pay to create it and revoke the authorities buyers check before they buy.
Launching directly on pump.fun is the cheapest route at about $1.40; among the paid tools compared here, Jumpbit is lowest at 0.052 SOL (about $4.87) because it does not charge for authority revocations. Every price was read on the vendor's own page on 30 October 2026.
The short answer
- If you have art, a page and an audience: launch directly on pump.fun. It is about $1.40 and nothing else comes close.
- If you want your own buys to land in the first block: a bundler such as Jumpbit, and read what bundling does to how your launch looks on chain before you use it.
- If you are not launching on a bonding curve at all: a token creator plus a Raydium pool, which is a different and more expensive product.
- If the art and the page are the thing stopping you: that is the only gap this studio fills, and it is the last row of the table.
The routes, priced
| Route | Listed price | Create + revoke both | Who it suits |
|---|---|---|---|
| pump.fun, directly | 0.01495 SOL ($1.40) | 0.01495 SOL ($1.40) | Anyone willing to bring their own art and audience. The cheapest real launch there is. |
| Jumpbit | 0.052 SOL ($4.87) | 0.052 SOL ($4.87) | Someone who wants to land their own first buys in the same block, and is comfortable that those wallets are visible on chain. |
| solana-token-creator.com | 0.1 SOL ($9.37) | 0.3 SOL ($28.10) | Non-pump.fun tokens with a Raydium pool, priced item by item. |
| Smithii | 0.5 SOL ($46.83) | 0.7 SOL ($65.56) | A toolkit buyer: pools, airdrops, vesting, bundler and a published audit in one place. |
| soltokencreator.io | 0.5 SOL ($46.83) | 0.7 SOL ($65.56) | One-transaction SPL creation with Raydium pool tools beside it. |
| Mint a Brand (this site) | $30 (0.320 SOL) | $30 (0.320 SOL) + network | A first launch where the art, the page and the transaction prep are the blocker, not the price. |
The middle column is creation plus revoking both the mint and freeze authority — the configuration a buyer checks on a block explorer before they spend anything. Some tools include the revocations in their price and some charge per item, which is why the second column can be three times the first. Network fees are on top for almost every route.
Why the second column exists
On a bonding-curve launch this is moot: pump.fun sets the mint authority, the freeze authority and the metadata update authority to null when the coin is created, so there is nothing left to revoke and nothing for a buyer to worry about. That is one of the few places where the free route is also the cleanest one.
On a standard SPL token it is the opposite: the creator keeps those authorities unless they are revoked, and the revocations are billed separately by most tools. A coin whose mint authority is still live can be inflated at any time; one whose freeze authority is live can have wallets frozen. Buyers know this, which is why "0.1 SOL to create" and "0.3 SOL to create a coin anyone will buy" are the same sentence with the important part left out.
Where each one wins
pump.fun, directly
Cheapest, fastest, and the only route that comes with a discovery feed attached. No revocations needed, no pool, no hosting decision. If you can draw an icon and post for three weeks, this is the correct answer and everything below is a convenience purchase.
Jumpbit
Revocations are free, which makes its all-in number the lowest of the paid tools, and it is built around putting your own buys into the launch block. That is a genuine feature — snipers do buy the first block — and it is also the feature that makes a launch look bundled. Use it knowing that every one of those wallets is visible forever.
solana-token-creator.com
Itemised pricing, so you can see exactly what you are buying, and a $9.37 entry point that undercuts most of the field. It is aimed at standard SPL tokens and Raydium pools rather than bonding curves, which is a different launch with a different set of costs.
Smithii
The most complete toolkit: creation, pools, airdrops, vesting, a bundler, a volume bot, and published audits. You are buying a suite rather than a transaction, and the price reflects it. Its volume-bot and "buy holders" tools are the part of the market this page will not recommend to anyone — paying for manufactured volume is how launches get flagged.
soltokencreator.io
One transaction, one signature, everything about the mint in the same call, with pool and burn tools beside it. Clear about not being the cheapest, which is worth something in a market where most of the pricing pages are coy.
This studio
We sell the job before the transaction: an icon, banner, page background and stickers drawn for the coin, a token site on its own subdomain with the contract address and an honest no-price state, and the launch prepared for your wallet to sign. You bring the audience.
Where we lose, plainly
- On price, to everything. A direct pump.fun launch is about $1.40. We are $30. If you are paying us, you are buying time and art, not a cheaper transaction.
- On features. No bundling, no volume bot, no sniping, no vesting, no multi-chain. We do not offer them, and we would rather say so than list them.
- On audience. Nobody here has a following to lend you. The table above has no column for it because no vendor in it can honestly fill one.
- On guarantees. We cannot make a coin trade, graduate or be liked.
What none of them sell
In the largest launch dataset available, 0.198% of coins graduated — 1,651 out of 832,941 — and 68.67% recorded their last trade on the day they were created. The variable that moved that number most was not the tool used to create the coin. It was whether the launch had a Telegram channel behind it: 1.485% graduation with one, against 0.166% without.
That is the part of a launch no table on this page can price. The launch guide covers it in full, including the 21-day runway and the account limits that decide whether anyone can find you on the day.
Questions
Which route is cheapest overall?
pump.fun, directly: about $1.40 of network cost and no platform fee. Among paid tools, Jumpbit's 0.052 SOL is the lowest all-in because it does not charge for revocations. Cheapest is not the same as best, but if cost is the constraint, the answer is the free one.
Why do prices here differ from other comparison sites?
Because we read each vendor's own page on 30 October 2026 and quote the listed headline, including the add-ons that make up a normal launch. A comparison built from a vendor's summary of its competitors is a claim about a claim; where we could not read a tool's page today, it is not in the table.
Do I need to revoke authorities on a pump.fun launch?
No — they are already null at creation. This is why the pump.fun row shows the same number twice. On a standard SPL token the revocations are separate purchases, usually 0.1 SOL each.
Is bundling my first buys a good idea?
It solves a real problem — snipers buying the first block — and creates a real one: every bundled wallet is visible on chain, and buyers now look. If you bundle, say what you hold. If you would rather not explain it, launch without it.
What about the tools that are not in this table?
There are dozens of token creators, most of them multi-chain, and several advertise a Solana price we did not read today. We left them out rather than repeat a number from someone else's comparison page. If a tool matters to you, its own pricing page is the only source worth quoting.
Pick the route, then decide if you need us
If the answer is the free one, take it — the free route is written up honestly. If the blocker is art and a page, that is $30, and the cost breakdown shows what the network charges on top.

Nothing here is financial advice, and a cheaper route is not a better investment. Most meme coins go to zero.
