# axiom pulse vs photon memescope, column by column Axiom Pulse if you trade launches on more than one chain: eight chains feed the same three columns, and every column carries its own filters and three presets. Photon Memescope if you only trade Solana and already run Photon: the same three stages of a launch, one chain, and the S1 preset you already set up. Same idea on both: one column per stage of a launch, a buy on every row. The difference is chains and filter depth. | | Axiom Pulse | Photon Memescope | |---|---|---| | columns | New Pairs, Final Stretch, Migrated | NEW, GRADUATING, GRADUATED | | chains on the screen | Solana, Robinhood, Arc, BNB, Ink, HyperEVM, Base, Ethereum, one toggle each | Solana | | priced in | each chain's coin, mixed in one column: SOL, ETH, BNB, HYPE or USDC | SOL | | launchpads | a Protocols list per chain in the filter panel, Pump to Moonshot and a Show more | Pump.fun and Moonshot | | search | Search by ticker or name on the column, include and exclude keywords in the filters | Search Keywords, up to three | | preset on the column | P1, P2, P3 | S1, one of three in settings | | headline filters | snipers, insiders, bundle and pro-trader percentages | progress to bonding, at least one social | ## chains Switch a chain on and its launches appear in the same columns as Solana's, priced in that chain's coin. The option lives in the URL and the app remembers it. If you hold only SOL, turn the rest off. The [pulse walkthrough](/axiom/pulse/) goes over the toggles, and [robinhood on axiom](/axiom/robinhood-chain/) the chain people ask about. Photon's memescope is Solana. Photon has an ETH section, and no memescope in it. ![Axiom's Pulse page with all eight chains on: three columns, New Pairs, Final Stretch and Migrated, each with its own search, quick-buy amount, P1 to P3 presets and filters button. Our wallet balances are masked.](https://apebrief.com/assets/media/axiom-pulse.png) ## filters Axiom's filter panel opens per column and per chain, with Protocols, Audit, $ Metrics and Socials tabs, include and exclude keywords, and footer buttons 1 to 3 beside import, export and share icons, which Axiom doesn't document. Dex Paid sits under Socials ([what it checks](/axiom/dex-paid/)). The [pulse filters page](/axiom/pulse-filters/) walks the panel. Axiom's own Pulse guide trails its screen: it still calls the third column Migrated to Raydium and talks only about pump.fun tokens. Go by the screen. ## presets and quick buy Both put a quick-buy amount on every column header with a preset beside it. Photon's S1 is one of three trading presets, S1 to S3, which set MEV protection, priority, bribe and slippage. Axiom shows P1, P2 and P3, which Axiom pitches as a fast way to switch fee settings. On the Robinhood view a first-visit tip said a preset's Tax trigger holds its quick buys until the tax drops to your level. Axiom's amount field also picks the chain and currency, because the column is mixed. Photon puts a Migrate & Buy on a graduating row. ![Photon's Memescope: three columns, NEW, GRADUATING and GRADUATED, each with keyword search, a 0.1 SOL quick-buy amount and preset S1. Our wallet balance is masked.](https://apebrief.com/assets/media/photon-memescope.png) ## same on both Three columns for three stages, a quick buy on the row, and 1% a leg on Solana at the start. The [fee comparison](/vs/axiom-photon/) is its own page. ## our pick: axiom Photon Memescope is a fine pick if you only trade Solana and already use Photon. For most traders it's Axiom: Pulse puts Solana and seven more chains in the same three columns, with filters and presets on each.

Axiom is the volume leader on Solana right now. Photon is the older web UI. Tune priority on Photon or you overpay. This is not a reason to hop both. Pick one wallet path and stay on it. - **Why did Photon eat the fill?** Photon charges 1% of the SOL or token you put in, on every buy and sell, on top of the priority fee and Jito tip you set yourself in settings. - **What does Axiom actually charge?** Platform fee starts at 1% of the fill, plus priority you set, plus impact. A referral is a fee cut on the account if the field shows the code. Gas is separate. - **Where is deposit on Photon?** Same shape as every non-custodial Solana terminal. Connect the wallet with SOL. There is no Photon deposit address. We do not send you to Axiom from here. ## how we know: every number on this page - Axiom Pulse has three columns: New Pairs, Final Stretch and Migrated **New** (our screenshot Sep 2026: heading 'Pulse', then three columns headed New Pairs, Final Stretch and Migrated), checked 2026-09-24 - Photon's memescope has three columns, NEW, GRADUATING and GRADUATED, and is Solana only on this screen **NEW** (our screenshot Sep 2026: heading 'MEMESCOPE' with the line 'Customized real-time feeds of new tokens matching your selected preset filters.';
