DEX Screener is a free token screener and charting site that indexes DEX pairs directly from the blockchains it tracks. It earns revenue from token projects (paid Boosts, Enhanced Token Info, banner and trending-bar ads) rather than charging traders, and its docs describe no built-in swap.
Cost: Free for traders: no trading fee because DEX Screener does not execute trades. Token projects pay for visibility: Enhanced Token Info from $299 (listed down from $499), Token Advertising from $299, Trending Bar ads from $2,000, Boosts priced in the web checkout (not published), and custom direct ad deals with a $100,000 minimum.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Free to use for traders; there is no trading fee because the site does not execute swaps.
- Indexes pairs directly from blockchains with its own indexer and lists tokens automatically once they have a pool and a trade.
- Covers 60+ chains in its chain navigation, from Solana and Ethereum to Hyperliquid, TON and XRPL.
- Free public API with documented 60 requests-per-minute limits on profile, boost and ad endpoints.
- iOS and Android apps alongside the web screener.
Cons
- Paid Boosts and ads can raise a token's visibility and Trending Score, so trending lists are partly shaped by spending.
- Boost pack prices are not published in the docs; they only show in the web checkout.
- Data is processed automatically without human moderation, so scam tokens appear alongside legitimate ones.
- No built-in trading: you need a separate wallet, DEX or bot to act on what you find.
