Comparing wallet cleaners
What Spacedust and Sol Incinerator each do, from their published documentation and ours. Checked 26 October 2026.
Two cleaners with the same job and different instincts. Sol Incinerator has been closing empty token accounts since December 2021 and is the one most people meet first; Spacedust does the same work with a fee charged on what it recovers rather than per account, and puts a read-only scan in front of the connection rather than behind it.
Everything below is taken from each project’s own documentation on 26 October 2026 — not from a test of their code, and not from a fee measured on chain. Where their site does not say, the table reads not stated: an absence of evidence, not a claim that the feature is missing.
What it charges
- Spacedust
- 1.5% of the rent it recovers, on closing, sending and refunds. Nothing on a swap.

Batch-swapping leftover tokens

Where they are ahead
Four and a half years of use is not a rounding error. Sol Incinerator has closed accounts for people since 2021, which means the awkward cases in this work — a mint that behaves oddly, an account that cannot be closed for a reason no document mentions — have been met by them already and are probably handled. Spacedust is new, and new software should be judged accordingly.
They also list Ledger support, which we do not. Spacedust supports the wallets it names — Phantom, Solflare, Backpack, Jupiter, and anything that connects over WalletConnect. If you clean up from a hardware wallet, that difference decides it on its own.
How to judge any cleaner, including this one
These questions do not favour either product. They are the ones worth asking before approving a transaction that closes accounts on a wallet you care about.
1.Does it ever ask for a seed phrase or private key?
No legitimate cleaner needs one. Closing an account, swapping a token and revoking an approval are all transactions your wallet signs and the app cannot sign for you. A field asking for a key is the whole scam, whatever else the page says.
2.Can you read the transaction before approving it?
A cleaner that only shows a button is asking for trust. The programs involved, the accounts being closed, and where your SOL ends up should all be visible — in the app, or in the wallet's own preview.
3.Is the fee charged on a number you can see?
A percentage of the rent recovered is checkable against the amount you actually receive. A flat charge per account, stated in SOL, is checkable too. A fee that appears only as a smaller balance is not.
4.Does it refuse anything?
The reassuring answer is yes. A cleaner that closes any account offered to it will eventually close one holding a balance you wanted. Refusing to sell an unpriced mint, or to touch an account with a transfer hook, is a feature.
5.What does a failed transaction cost?
It should cost the network fee and nothing else. Anything that moves your tokens before the step that can fail is a design fault, not bad luck.

Sol Incinerator’s figures and features come from sol-incinerator.com, read on 26 October 2026. Spacedust’s own claims are the ones its code charges from: the fee percentage here is imported from the constant the flows use, so a rate quoted on this page cannot drift away from the rate actually taken.
If something here is wrong or out of date, say so and it gets corrected. A comparison that stays true only while nobody checks it is worth less than no comparison at all.
