The closest 1inch alternatives are KyberSwap and Velora, which both state no platform fee on swaps, and CoW Swap, which publishes a 0.02% volume fee. Below are seven 1inch alternatives and competitors compared on swap fee, supported chains and audits, from EVM aggregators to Solana's Jupiter and the Uniswap DEX.

Key takeaways

  1. 01KyberSwap — Best overall replacement: no platform fee on swaps across 20 EVM chains.
  2. 02CoW Swap — best for price surplus: signed orders settled in batches by competing solvers.
  3. 03Velora — Best audited router: no direct protocol fee, Certora-verified contracts.
  4. 04OpenOcean — best for chain coverage: routes across 40+ chains, including Solana.
  5. Switching? Revoke token approvals you no longer need before you leave the old app.

What is 1inch?

1inch is a DEX aggregator that splits swaps across many exchanges on 19 networks, including Solana. It publishes no fixed swap fee rate: infrastructure fees may apply, and in the default mode the API provider keeps any price surplus. Its contracts were audited by 10 firms. See the full 1inch profile →

How we picked these alternatives

  1. 01Swap fee — the aggregator's own fee on a standard swap, from its fee or docs page, checked Sep 26, 2026.
  2. 02Surplus handling — who keeps the difference when a swap fills better than the quote.
  3. 03Supported chains — EVM networks and Solana, from each project's chain list.
  4. 04Audits — which firms reviewed the router contracts and when.
  5. 05Custody — every pick here is non-custodial: you sign each swap from your own wallet.

Why look for a 1inch alternative?

01

No fixed fee rate

1inch publishes no fixed swap fee: its help center says infrastructure fees may apply and the API provider keeps any price surplus. Matcha, CoW Swap and Jupiter publish exact rates you can check before you trade.

02

Surplus goes to the provider

When a swap fills better than quoted, 1inch lets the API provider keep the surplus. CoW Swap takes 50% of quote improvement and leaves the rest with you, capped at 0.98% of volume.

03

US state restrictions

1inch says some of its products or assets are unavailable in some US states, and its help page does not list which. Check the app from your state before you move funds or approvals.

The 7 best 1inch alternatives

#1

KyberSwap

Best overall replacement

Routes across 420+ liquidity sources on 20 EVM chains and states it charges no platform fee on KyberSwap.com or its API. Like 1inch it may collect positive slippage, and it has no native Solana aggregator.

vs 1inch
  • Published fee: Better
  • EVM chain coverage: Equal
  • Solana support: Worse
  • No platform fee on swaps
  • Dex Router V3 audited by Hexens in Nov 2025
Community take

In r/defi and r/CryptoCurrency threads, users list KyberSwap among aggregators with the cheapest routes and cross-chain swaps, and some say they use it consistently for swaps.

#2

CoW Swap

Best for price surplus

You sign an order and solvers compete to settle it. It publishes a 0.02% volume fee (0.003% on correlated pairs) plus 50% of quote improvement, capped at 0.98%. Covers 11 EVM mainnets and no Solana.

vs 1inch
  • Fee transparency: Better
  • Surplus to user: Better
  • Chain coverage: Worse
  • 0.003% fee on correlated pairs
  • Same contract address on 11 mainnets
Community take

In r/defi threads, CoW Swap is a frequent pick for the best aggregator, mainly for MEV protection, while a recent thread complains about a higher protocol fee on a large swap.

#3

Velora

Formerly ParaSwap
Best audited router

Velora, formerly ParaSwap, offers Market and Delta intent routing and charges end users no direct protocol fee. It takes 15% of partner fees and 50% of shared surplus. Only 10 EVM chains are listed.

vs 1inch
  • Direct swap fee: Better
  • Formal verification: Better
  • Chain coverage: Worse
  • Augustus v6.1 formally verified by Certora
  • Audits by five firms incl. PeckShield
Community take

In r/defi threads, users suggest comparing ParaSwap quotes with Matcha and Odos, and one says it usually beats CoW Swap when used through DefiLlama's swap.

#4

OpenOcean

Best for chain coverage

Routes swaps across 1,000+ liquidity sources on 40+ chains, more than the 19 networks 1inch lists. Its swap fee is not published on its docs, and its listed audits date from 2021.

vs 1inch
  • Chain coverage: Better
  • Fee transparency: Equal
  • Audit recency: Worse
  • 40+ chains incl. Solana
  • Gasless, DCA and limit order APIs
Community take

In r/defi threads, users name OpenOcean with KyberSwap as their go-to non-custodial swap tools, and one poster compares its quotes with 1inch and direct DEXs after gas.

#5

Matcha

Best for stablecoin swaps

A web app from 0x Labs with a fixed, published fee: 0.25% on most pairs, 0% on stablecoin-to-stablecoin, 0.40% on cross-chain swaps. It covers 13 chains including Solana. Limitation: on most pairs the 0.25% fee is a cost 1inch does not charge as a fixed rate.

vs 1inch
  • Fee transparency: Better
  • Stablecoin swap fee: Better
  • Fee on most pairs: Worse
  • No fee on stablecoin-to-stablecoin swaps
  • Auto mode includes network costs in the quote

#6

Jupiter

Best for Solana

The main Solana aggregator, with JupiterZ RFQ market makers competing against on-chain routes, plus perps, lending and DCA. Platform fee runs 0 to 10 bps by pair, 50 bps on tokens under 24 hours old. Solana only. Not available to US residents: its Terms of Use list the US as a prohibited locality.

vs 1inch
  • Solana features: Better
  • Published fee: Better
  • EVM support: Worse
  • 0 bps on pegged pairs
  • iOS app listed in the US App Store

#7

Uniswap

Best single DEX

Not an aggregator: you trade against Uniswap pools only, paying the pool's LP fee (0.3% on v2, 0.01% to 1% tiers on v3). No route splitting across other DEXs, so large trades can get a worse price.

vs 1inch
  • Route splitting: Worse
  • Fee transparency: Better
  • Mobile apps: Better
  • v3 fee tiers as low as 0.01%
  • Open-source pool contracts on GitHub
Visit Uniswap ↗

Which 1inch alternative should you choose?

KyberSwap for no-platform-fee EVM swaps, CoW Swap for published fees with surplus shared back, OpenOcean for Solana, Matcha for stablecoin swaps.

Bottom line

If you use 1inch for EVM swaps and want a fee you can read upfront, KyberSwap and Velora both state no direct platform fee, and CoW Swap publishes 0.02% plus a share of any price improvement. If you trade on Solana, OpenOcean covers it; Jupiter is Solana only and not available to US residents. If you swap stablecoins, Matcha charges 0% on those pairs.

Only OpenOcean, with 40+ chains, covers more networks than the 19 on 1inch, and its swap fee is not published on its docs. Compare the final quote, including gas, on two aggregators before a large trade.

How to move from 1inch safely

  1. Open the new aggregator only from its official URL, and bookmark it to avoid phishing clones.
  2. Connect the same wallet you used with 1inch; no funds need to move.
  3. Run a small test swap and compare the received amount with a 1inch quote for the same pair.
  4. Check the slippage setting and the fee line on the confirmation screen before you sign.
  5. Revoke token approvals you gave the 1inch router with a revoke tool if you stop using it.
