Launch TapeDisclosure: we run Launch Tape. We're one of the five things compared here, so take our side of this with that in mind. We've tried to source every number below, including the ones that make us the wrong choice for a given job.
If you're building or backtesting a memecoin bot on Solana, you'll eventually need pump.fun launch data that isn't just "the current price." Here's what five providers offer, as publicly stated, checked October 14, 2026. Prices change; follow the links for the current ones.
| Provider | Access | History | Creator / outcome data | Format | Price (as stated) | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | Bitquery | Live GraphQL API, gRPC / WebSocket | Real-time, plus about 30 days in the curated trading data; older via chain-level DEX trade endpoints | Token creation, bonding-curve progress, PumpSwap migration; no creator-wallet profile in the docs we found | JSON | Free developer plan; archive plans from $100/mo ($70/mo yearly); usage add-ons (bitquery.io) | | Birdeye | Live REST + WebSocket API | Varies by plan | Not specified in the public docs we could reach | JSON | Free tier about 30K compute units/mo; paid from about $39/mo; WebSocket reported on a higher tier (docs) | | Solana Tracker | Live REST + WebSocket API | Price-history snapshots and OHLCV; graduated / graduating token endpoints | Graduation lists; no creator-wallet or post-graduation outcome data found | JSON | About €50/mo up to about €599/mo by request volume (solanatracker.io) | | Dune | SQL over decoded chain tables, plus a Query API | As far back as Dune's Solana tables go; you write the query | Raw wallet addresses in the tables; no purpose-built creator / outcome table | CSV / JSON export or API | Free 2,500 credits/mo; Query API on paid plans (billing) | | Launch Tape | Daily flat files, no API | Since Oct 3, 2026 (trades) / Oct 4 (launch data), one new day each morning | Creator wallet, funding, creator's own buy, curve buyers, graduation-slot buyers, outcome at +10 s to +10 min, holders at 1/10/60 min | .jsonl.gz, .parquet, and a per-day graduates CSV (about 200 KB) | One day $10; One week $20 once; Full history $49/mo (launchtape.io) |
Bitquery
Bitquery's pump.fun API is the most infrastructure-grade option here: GraphQL, gRPC and fast WebSocket streams, with trades, prices, token creation, bonding-curve progress and PumpSwap migration all queryable live. The catch for historical work is that the curated trade data covers roughly the last 30 days; older than that means the raw chain-level DEX trade endpoints and more cleanup on your side. Pricing is usage-shaped, which is normal for a live API and awkward if what you want is "every graduation from three months ago, as a file."
Birdeye
Birdeye is a broad multi-chain price and trade API, not a pump.fun-specific product. It has trade-history and price-history endpoints across its plans, and a usable free tier for light use. We couldn't confirm from the public docs whether it separates bonding-curve trades from ordinary DEX trades, or tracks who created a token. If your bot already uses Birdeye for live prices across many tokens and chains, pump.fun history is a bonus, not the reason to pick it.
Solana Tracker
Of the three live APIs, Solana Tracker is the most pump.fun-aware: it has dedicated graduated and graduating token endpoints and WebSocket subscriptions for them. It's still a request-metered live API, priced by volume. We found no creator-wallet or post-graduation outcome data: it tells you a token graduated, not who was behind it or what happened next.
Dune
Dune is a different kind of tool. You're not buying a pump.fun dataset, you're buying SQL query credits against Dune's indexed Solana tables, which include pump.fun activity if you write the right joins. That's powerful if you already think in SQL and want ad-hoc digging or a public dashboard, and the free tier is enough for occasional manual work. But there's no packaged pump.fun history, no bonding-curve schema handed to you, and automating it through the API needs a paid plan.
Launch Tape
We're the odd one out: no API, no live feed, no WebSocket. We record pump.fun, PumpSwap, Meteora and other Solana launchpads from the chain and ship a new day of files every morning: .jsonl.gz and .parquet for code, plus a graduates CSV small enough to open on a phone or drop into ChatGPT. History starts Oct 3, 2026 and grows one day at a time; there's nothing before that date. What we have that the API-first options don't appear to: per-launch creator and funding data, who bought at each stage, how each coin did in its first minutes, and holders after graduation. It's built to answer "who was behind this, and what happened to the people who bought it," not "what's the price right now."
Who should pick which
- You need a live feed your bot reads in production: Bitquery, Birdeye or Solana Tracker. Launch Tape is the wrong choice here. We're not real-time and we're not trying to be.
- You live in SQL and want ad-hoc exploration or a dashboard: Dune.
- You want to see who created each launch and what happened to buyers, and test your rules on recorded trades with real fees instead of idealized fills: that's the gap we built Launch Tape for. The free files, the $10 day and the test prompt cost nothing.
- You need other chains or wallet labels: none of the five covers that as far as we could find, us included.
None of this is "ours is better." They're different tools: three live APIs, one query engine, and a tape of files. Pick by whether you need a feed or a file.
