Dexscreener Trending Prices Compared: What the Market Charges in 2026

Price shopping for trending is harder than it should be, because half the market will not publish numbers. You get a Telegram handle, a conversation, and a quote that depends on how urgent you sounded.

Here is what the market actually charges, and more usefully, what the differences are made of.

Where the market sits

Our full price list is simple: Solana is $399 for 12 hours and $699 for 24. Every EVM chain is $299 for 12 hours and $499 for 24. Same campaign construction regardless of chain, with the Solana premium reflecting the higher volume that board demands.

What the price gap is actually made of

Three things separate a $1,200 window from a $399 one, and only one of them is about the campaign itself.

Distribution model

A meaningful share of the market resells. An operator quotes you $900, buys the execution from someone else for $500, and keeps the difference for handling the conversation. Nothing wrong with it as a business, but you are paying for a middle layer that adds no volume to your pair.

Overhead

Manual intake costs money. If every order involves a human negotiating in Telegram, invoicing by hand and reporting with screenshots, that human is in your price. A self-serve panel removes most of it, which is a large part of why our pricing sits where it does.

Actual campaign scale

This is the one that matters, and it is where the bargain tier fails. A campaign's real cost is the wallet infrastructure: funding, rotating and operating a large address set, plus the fees and slippage that come with it. Cut that, and you have a cheap product that does not work.

Compare per hour on the board

Package lengths differ across providers, which makes headline prices hard to read. Convert everything to cost per hour on the trending list and the comparison gets honest fast. Check you are comparing the same thing while you are at it: some services sell volume delivered rather than hours of placement.

The 24-hour packages cost less per hour on both chains, which is the usual reason to take them. The reason not to is that hours running while your audience sleeps are hours nobody sees. Picking the right length and start time is worth more than the per-hour saving.

Five questions that reveal the tier

Before you pay anyone, including us, these answers tell you what you are buying:

1. Is the price published? Quote-only pricing usually means variable pricing.
2. Can you watch the campaign while it runs? Screenshots after the fact are not verification.
3. Do they ask which pool? An operator who does not ask has not thought about execution, because the campaign runs against a specific pair.
4. What happens if the board is unusually competitive that day? A real answer exists. Silence or a guarantee both mean the same thing.
5. How do they take payment? Stablecoin to a generated address is normal. Requests for a personal wallet transfer with no order record are not.

The full list of red flags covers the patterns that show up right before someone disappears.

How we price below the desks

Fair question to ask of anyone whose prices sit a third below the visible market, so here is the answer.

We buy access at volume rather than per campaign, which is where a meaningful part of the saving comes from. Execution runs on our own infrastructure rather than being brokered to another operator, which removes the middle layer. And the panel does the work that a person does at the premium desks: intake, payment, scheduling, reporting.

What we have not done is reduce the campaign. The wallet distribution, the pacing and the sizing are the product, and cutting them is how the sub-$200 tier ends up producing nothing. The saving comes out of overhead, not out of your window.

The costs that do not appear on a price page

Two expenses catch teams out after they have budgeted for the window itself.

Liquidity. If your pool cannot absorb the volume, you need to deepen it before the campaign. That is not money spent, since it stays in your pool, but it is capital you need available on the day. Budgeting $299 for a window while having $8,000 of liquidity is a plan that produces a jagged chart.

The second window. Almost nobody runs exactly one. If the first campaign works, you will want another attached to your next announcement. Worth knowing when you compare a $299 provider against a $1,200 one: the gap is not a one-off, it repeats every time.

What our price includes

So the comparison is fair, here is what $299 or $399 actually covers:

• 12 or 24 unbroken hours on the trending list, on the pair you choose
• Wallet distribution sized to the chain, not a fixed small set
• Randomised pacing and trade sizing across the window
• A panel showing the campaign progress hour by hour with a link to the live pair
• Payment in USDC on any of seven networks, one transaction
• No expiry on the package, so you buy now and launch it when ready

If you are still comparing this against other ways to spend a marketing budget, the paid ads comparison covers the alternative most teams weigh it against.
