A launchpad is the platform you deploy through — it decides your supply model, fee structure, authority defaults, and how (or whether) your token graduates to a real AMM pool. The Solana launchpad field splits into two camps: bonding-curve platforms (Pump.fun, Moonshot, Believe) that handle price discovery automatically but take a cut of every trade, and direct-deploy tools (Alchemii and similar) that mint a standard SPL token you control end-to-end with a flat one-time fee. The articles below compare the major launchpads on the axes that decide token survival — upfront cost, cumulative fees, authority control, LP ownership, and post-launch tooling — so you pick the one that fits your goal rather than the one with the loudest marketing.
