ALL GUIDES
fomo Guides and Tutorials
fomo lets you buy crypto from your phone with Apple Pay and see what other traders are buying while you do it. These guides cover what the marketing doesn't: the real fee math, how custody actually works, and what fomo's own documents say when you read them closely. Start at the FomoAppGuide homepage for the short overview.
Why This Library Exists
fomo's own help center is live and well-maintained, unlike some platforms in this space whose documentation has gone dark. That's not the gap. The gap is that fomo's Terms of Service and its help center don't always agree, and every review we found repeats the 0.50% headline fee without running the math on what the $0.95 minimum actually costs on a small trade. These guides exist to close that gap: the real numbers, worked all the way through, with a source on every figure. Start with What Is fomo? if you're new to the app entirely.
The Seven Clusters
Getting Started covers signup, wallet setup, funding and your first trade, including the one thing that catches new users out: the $0.95 minimum fee on small Solana orders. Trading Features documents the social feed, what “copy trading” actually means today, and how fomo's perps route to Hyperliquid. Fees and Referral shows exactly what a trade costs by size, and what the 10% referral discount is worth. Comparisons is one honest head-to-head against Moonshot rather than a wall of thin versus pages. Ecosystem covers the (nonexistent) token, the referral program, and the name confusion with unrelated FOMO products. Security and Safety explains the non-custodial key model and documented fake fomo sites. Troubleshooting covers the fee surprises and regional restrictions behind most support questions.
Where the Facts Come From
Two sources, and we label which is which whenever it matters: fomo's Terms of Service and fomo's help center. Where they disagree, which happens on the fee minimum, we quote both instead of picking a winner. Full detail on the methodology page.
What fomo Costs, in One Paragraph
fomo charges 0.50% per trade standard, 0.05% on select major tokens, plus a $0.95 flat minimum on Solana orders under 200 USDC -- meaning a $10 trade actually costs 9.5%, not 0.5%. Ethereum adds network gas on top. A referral link brings the standard rate down to 0.45%, permanently, applied automatically from signup. Perps route to Hyperliquid through a builder code, adding roughly 0.05% on top of Hyperliquid's own fee. The full arithmetic is in fomo Fees Explained.
Who These Guides Are For
First-time crypto buyers should start with how to trade on fomo before funding anything -- one habit in it prevents real money loss. Anyone comparing apps wants fomo vs Moonshot, the comparison with the most real search demand. And anyone who saw “copy trading” in fomo's marketing and wants to know if it's real should read the social feed guide.
