Question 1

Which Solana token creator is the cheapest?

Accepted Answer

For a token with metadata and both mint and freeze authority revoked, DexLab's about 0.17 SOL (0.15 SOL fee plus about 0.02 SOL rent, revocations included) is the lowest total in this table as of 2026-08-30. Smithii charges 0.5 SOL plus 0.1 SOL per revocation, CoinFactory 0.2 SOL plus 0.1 SOL per revocation on its form, and Orion Tools shows 0.40 SOL with its default options, which revoke freeze but not mint; revoking mint adds 0.1 SOL, for 0.50 SOL. pump.fun is free to create but charges 1.25 percent on every bonding curve trade and 0.015 SOL at graduation.

Question 2

Why do the prices differ so much when the token is the same?

Accepted Answer

Solana itself charges only rent for the mint, metadata, and token accounts a creator sets up. On the DexLab create form that rent measured 0.019866 SOL, rounded to 0.02 SOL in the cost shown to you. Everything above the rent is the tool's own fee. Tools differ in whether revocations, metadata upload, and a custom creator field are included or sold as add-ons, so the honest comparison is the total for the configuration you actually want, not the headline number.

Question 3

Is a free token creator really free?

Accepted Answer

pump.fun charges 0 SOL to create a coin, and its documentation is clear about the trade: a 1.25 percent fee on every trade while the coin is on the bonding curve, 0.015 SOL when it graduates, and between 0.30 and 1.25 percent on trades in the PumpSwap pool afterwards. You also do not choose the supply, decimals, or authorities, and the name, symbol, and image are immutable. That is a different product from a token creator, not a cheaper version of one.

Question 4

What should I compare besides the price?

Accepted Answer

Whether you keep the mint, freeze, and metadata authorities in your own wallet and can revoke them yourself; whether Token-2022 extensions such as transfer fees are available; what the path from token to liquidity pool costs; and whether the tool is non-custodial, meaning every transaction is signed by your wallet and the tool never holds your keys or supply. DexLab has minted Solana tokens since 2021 and is non-custodial end to end.

Question 5

How were these numbers collected, and how often are they updated?

Accepted Answer

Each competitor cell was read from the public HTML of the cited page on 2026-08-30, without JavaScript, and quoted as published. The DexLab cells come from the application source code and from the mainnet fee configuration account the app reads at runtime. Prices change; if a cell no longer matches a site, the date at the top of the table tells you how old the reading is.

Question 6

Is any tool paying to appear here?

Accepted Answer

No. No tool paid for placement, no affiliate links are used, and the competitor links go to the pages the numbers were read from. DexLab publishes this page because it is absent from most third-party comparison lists.
