Sol Incinerator vs RefundYourSol: Fees and Features Compared

If you search for ways to refund SOL from old token accounts, two names come up often: Sol Incinerator and RefundYourSol. Both do the same core job — close the empty token accounts cluttering your Solana wallet and return the locked rent deposits to you.

The difference comes down to two things: how much of your SOL the tool keeps as a fee, and how much of your wallet it can actually clean. This post compares both, with the per-account math spelled out.

What Both Tools Do

Every Solana token account requires a rent-exempt deposit of about 0.00204 SOL to exist on-chain. Receiving any new token type auto-creates one of these accounts, and after you sell or transfer the token, the empty account remains — with your deposit still locked inside.

A wallet cleaner scans for these vacant accounts and closes them, returning the rent to you minus a fee. If your wallet has been through a few airdrop seasons or memecoin cycles, that can add up to a meaningful amount of SOL. Our guide on how to reclaim Solana from unused token accounts covers the mechanics in more detail.

Which Has Lower Fees, Sol Incinerator or RefundYourSol?

The key detail in RefundYourSol's pricing is the word starting. Its website advertises the fee as "Starting at 15% — but if you find a competitor with lower fees, we'll match it down to 2%. No questions asked." In other words, the 2% floor exists because competitors like Sol Incinerator already charge roughly 2% — but you only get that rate by asking for the match. Unless you do, the advertised default is 15%.

Sol Incinerator's ~2% is not a promotional rate or a match you have to request. It is the same flat rate for every wallet, on the first account you close and the thousandth.

The Per-Account Math

Here is what the fee difference means in actual SOL. Each empty token account returns about 0.00204 SOL of rent when closed:

• Sol Incinerator (~2% fee): you receive a flat 0.002 SOL per account.
• RefundYourSol at its default 15% fee: you receive about 0.00173 SOL per account.

Over a wallet with 30 empty token accounts, that is roughly 0.060 SOL recovered with Sol Incinerator versus roughly 0.052 SOL at RefundYourSol's 15% rate — about 0.008 SOL left on the table. With 100 empty accounts, the gap grows to roughly 0.027 SOL.

Could you get RefundYourSol down to 2%? According to its website, yes — by pointing it at a competitor with lower fees and asking for the match. But at 2% you would only be matching what Sol Incinerator gives every user by default, and you would still be using a tool that handles a smaller slice of your wallet.

Sol Incinerator

Sol Incinerator is the original Solana wallet cleaner, live since December 2021 and built by the Sol Slugs team. It is non-custodial — your keys never leave your wallet, and every action requires your explicit signature.

Strengths

• Flat ~2% fee with no asterisks. You receive 0.002 SOL per closed token account of the 0.00204 SOL rent — roughly a 1.93% fee — from your very first transaction. Standard NFT burns keep around 5% (rates vary for other asset types). There is no upfront cost; fees only come out of SOL you actually reclaim. The fee receiver wallet burn68h9dS2tvZwtCFMt79SyaEgvqtcZZWJphizQxgt is publicly auditable.
• Widest asset support. Closes empty token accounts (SPL Token and Token-2022), burns standard SPL tokens, NFTs, pNFTs, NFT editions, compressed NFTs, LP tokens, and Bonfida (.sol) domains, and recovers stuck tokens.
• All-in-one toolkit. Integrated Jupiter-powered token swaps, mass send for tokens and NFTs, stuck-token recovery, and a reopen token account tool if you close something you still need.
• Layered safety modes. Fun Mode (the default) is strictly non-destructive — it only closes empty accounts, with zero risk to held assets. Pro Mode unlocks burning, with safety controls that protect valuable tokens and NFTs, and a further Dev mode exposes power-user features like LP token burning.
• Broad wallet support. Phantom, Solflare, Backpack, Trust Wallet, OKX, Exodus, Ledger, and anything supporting WalletConnect.

RefundYourSol

RefundYourSol (refundyoursol.com) is a Solana rent-refund tool. Its website advertises closing empty SPL and Token-2022 token accounts and burning leftover dust tokens, describes the service as non-custodial, and claims over 748,000 users served.

On fees, its site advertises a rate starting at 15%, with a competitor price-match pledge down to 2%. That pledge is only useful if you know to invoke it, which means the effective fee for a typical user — especially someone doing a one-time wallet cleanup — is the 15% default, not the 2% floor.

On coverage, RefundYourSol's site does not advertise burning NFTs, pNFTs, compressed NFTs, LP tokens, or domain names, and it does not advertise mass send or token swaps. If your wallet holds any of those — and most active Solana wallets do — you would need a second tool to finish the cleanup anyway.

Bottom Line

For most Solana wallets, Sol Incinerator is the straightforward pick:

• You keep more SOL by default. A flat ~2% for everyone versus an advertised fee that starts at 15% and requires invoking a competitor price match to reach 2%.
• One app cleans everything. Empty token accounts, NFTs, pNFTs, compressed NFTs, editions, LP tokens, domains, and stuck tokens, plus swaps and mass send. RefundYourSol advertises a narrower feature set focused on empty accounts and dust.
• Longest track record. Live since December 2021 — the original Solana wallet cleaner.
• Non-custodial with an auditable fee wallet. Your keys stay in your wallet, and the fee receiver address is public.

How to Refund Your SOL with Sol Incinerator

1. Open Sol Incinerator.
2. Connect your Solana wallet — Phantom, Solflare, Backpack, Trust Wallet, OKX, Exodus, Ledger, or any WalletConnect-compatible wallet.
3. The cleaner scans your wallet for empty SPL and Token-2022 accounts automatically.
4. Click Claim SOL to close all vacant accounts in one go — you receive 0.002 SOL per account.
5. (Optional) Switch to Pro Mode to burn unwanted tokens, NFTs, or domains for additional rent recovery (LP tokens have their own tab in Dev mode).

There is no upfront cost and no price match to request. The ~2% fee only comes out of SOL you actually reclaim.
