The real, all-in cost to launch a Solana token is small but not zero, and it's spread across several line items most guides gloss over: the SPL mint and account rent, Metaplex metadata rent, the tool's service fee, and — the big one — the SOL you seed into the liquidity pool. End to end, the on-chain mechanics run about 0.22 SOL before liquidity — more if you turn on the optional authority-revocation extras — with seed liquidity typically the largest cost by far. The articles below break each line item down with current figures, compare "free" token creators (and where they recoup the cost), and lay out a realistic budget so you don't get surprised at the pool-creation step.
