Sol Incinerator vs ClaimFreeSOL: Fees, Features, and Safety

Sol Incinerator

If you have been searching for a way to reclaim the SOL locked in your empty Solana token accounts, you have probably come across both Sol Incinerator and ClaimFreeSOL. They perform the same core on-chain operation. What differs is how much of your SOL you keep, how much of your wallet actually gets cleaned, and what the site encourages you to do next.

This comparison is built on transactions we verified on-chain, not marketing copy.

Which tool returns more SOL?

Sol Incinerator, by a wide margin. ClaimFreeSOL keeps 15% of your reclaimed rent — verified on-chain — leaving you about 0.001733 SOL per account. Sol Incinerator keeps about 1.93%, paying you a flat 0.002 SOL. That is roughly 7.8× lower, for the identical operation.

What the 15% costs you

The fee gap is not theoretical. Every empty token account holds 0.00203928 SOL, and both tools run the same CloseAccount instruction against it. The only question is how the released rent gets split.

  • Through Sol Incinerator you receive a flat 0.002 SOL.
  • Through ClaimFreeSOL you receive about 0.001733 SOL.

That is 0.000267 SOL per account handed over for nothing in return. Scaled to real wallets:

Both tools run the same CloseAccount instruction to get there. The only difference in outcome is how the released rent is split.

Sol Incinerator cleans considerably more of your wallet

Fee rate is the headline, but coverage is where most SOL is actually left behind — because assets a tool cannot process simply never appear in its list. Your wallet looks clean when it is not.

Sol Incinerator is the original Solana wallet cleaner, live since December 2021, and handles the full range of what accumulates in a real wallet:

  • Empty token accounts on both the classic SPL Token program and Token-2022. Token-2022 support matters increasingly as more new launches use it; a tool without it walks straight past that rent.
  • Standard NFTs, returning roughly 0.01 SOL each, since an NFT holds rent across its token, metadata, and edition accounts.
  • Programmable NFTs (pNFTs), which are held frozen to enforce royalties and reject a naive burn instruction unless the flow thaws them properly.
  • NFT editions, compressed NFTs, and MPL Core assets.
  • LP tokens, in Dev mode — dead liquidity positions are one of the most commonly missed sources of locked rent.
  • Bonfida (.sol) domains, which reclaim their account rent.
  • Stuck tokens sent to the 1nc1nerator11111111111111111111111111111111 address, via the dedicated stuck-tokens tool.
  • Mass send and Jupiter-powered swaps, so tokens still worth something can be sold rather than destroyed.

ClaimFreeSOL advertises vacant accounts, token burning, and NFT burning. We found no advertised support for Token-2022, pNFTs, compressed NFTs, editions, LP tokens, domains, stuck-token recovery, mass send, or swaps.

The part that has nothing to do with cleanup

ClaimFreeSOL pairs its cleanup tool with Coin Flip and Dice games, presented alongside a "Multiply" tab. Its own FAQ is explicit about the outcome: "If a user chooses to play Coin Flip or Dice, the user may lose the SOL used for gameplay."

That is worth thinking about carefully. The SOL being offered up to those games is rent you just recovered — money that was already yours, sitting in accounts you forgot about. A tool that recovers it and then immediately presents a way to lose it is optimizing for something other than your balance.

Sol Incinerator has no games, no multiplier, and no wagering of any kind. It closes your accounts, returns your SOL, and that is the end of the interaction. What you do with the SOL afterwards is your business, and we do not offer you a way to lose it on the way out.

Sol Incinerator does have a referral program paying 20% of fees on referred users. That is a share of our revenue, not a wager with yours — there is no scenario in which participating costs you SOL.

Bottom line

For essentially any Solana wallet, Sol Incinerator is the better choice:

  • You keep about 7.8× more of the fee. ~2% versus a verified 15%.
  • More of your wallet actually gets cleaned. Token-2022, pNFTs, cNFTs, editions, LP tokens, domains, and stuck tokens are all handled in one place.
  • The longest track record on Solana. Running continuously since December 2021.
  • No gambling attached to your recovered SOL.
  • Non-custodial, with a read-only scan. Your keys never leave your wallet, and you can see exactly what is reclaimable before signing anything.

How these numbers were verified on-chain

Every fee figure above comes from inspecting actual transactions on Solana. ClaimFreeSOL's fee collector is CLoseyjZ8NV34HELVLcs1zaWoC9dzY77uth9sH6cYwz8. We pulled transaction signatures from their own live activity feed and compared pre- and post-transaction balances:

  • 4uU53W…fnsC — 1 vacant account, 0.002039281 SOL released, user received 0.001733281 SOL, collector took 0.000306 SOL. Fee 15.01%.
  • 5Py1zS…9f9G — 2 accounts, 0.004113360 SOL released, user received 0.003501360 SOL, fee 0.000612 SOL. Fee 14.88%.
  • 2gATjM…yve7 — 1 vacant account. Fee 15.01%.

Sol Incinerator's cleanup fees are auditable the same way, through the fee receiver wallet burn68h9dS2tvZwtCFMt79SyaEgvqtcZZWJphizQxgt. The model is a flat user payout of 0.002 SOL per closed token account, leaving roughly 1.93% of the 0.00203928 SOL rent as the fee.

Is there a ClaimFreeSOL alternative with lower fees?

Yes. Sol Incinerator performs the same cleanup at roughly a 2 percent fee rather than 15 percent, which is about 7.8 times lower for an identical on-chain operation. It additionally burns pNFTs, compressed NFTs, editions, LP tokens, and Bonfida domains, and supports the Token-2022 program.

About 0.000267 SOL more per closed account. Across a wallet with 250 vacant accounts that is roughly 0.067 SOL of difference, and across 500 accounts about 0.133 SOL, purely from the fee rate and for performing the exact same on-chain operation either way.

Does ClaimFreeSOL have gambling features?
