So which is cheaper, CatFee or TronMax?
On price for 65k energy for one hour, use CatFee. It asks 1.30 TRX where TronMax asks 2.40 TRX, a saving of 1.10 TRX per rental, and the same order holds at every other package CatFee and TronMax both quote.
Price is the only thing this board ranks on. A gap of 46% is a gap in TRX and nothing else, and it says nothing about how CatFee or TronMax handle an order that goes wrong.
Where CatFee and TronMax sit on the whole board
Against the whole board, CatFee is joint 1st and TronMax is 5th of the 19 platforms that quoted this package. 4 places separates them, so the pair is not a two-horse race so much as two points on a longer list.
Both of those positions rest on prices CatFee and TronMax publish themselves, not on anything this board has inferred, and both move whenever any other platform changes its rate.
What the archive has on CatFee and TronMax
Across 620 scans with a price from both at 65k energy for one hour, CatFee was in front 554 times and TronMax 66 times, with 98 changes of lead in between.
The average distance between them while both were quoting was 0.92 TRX. The widest it opened was 1.36 TRX, at 2026-10-23 07:45 UTC. The movement was one sided: CatFee moved 124 times, between 1.04 and 3.60 TRX and TronMax held 2.40 TRX at every one of the 621 scans.
None of that is a trend. The board has been recording since 2026-09-24 02:00 UTC, every 15 minutes, and the archive behind this page is 720 hours of data so far. It is long enough to say what CatFee and TronMax did yesterday and too short to say what either of them usually does.
What separates CatFee from TronMax
The two do not sell the same ladder. CatFee publishes one hour prices; TronMax publishes 15 minute, one hour, one day, three day and ten day prices. In practice TronMax quotes 15 minute, one day, three day and ten day where CatFee does not, so 0 of the ten rows above are inferred for CatFee and 0 for TronMax.
Only one of the two sells a 15 minute rental. TronMax quotes it directly; CatFee starts at an hour, so a job that takes two minutes still costs an hour of energy there.
TronMax is the one of the two that states its order limits: a floor of 20,000 energy. CatFee publishes no minimum and no maximum we can read, so the size of order it will take is not something this page can tell you.
Our scraper carries a note against TronMax that changes how its column should be read: “TronMax is an order book, not a shop: the buyer names the price and a seller fills it. These are the lowest prices TronMax will accept an order at - its own form rejects anything below them - so they are a floor, not a quote. Its public order list shows orders filling at exactly that floor. The rate is per day and rentals shorter than a day are billed as one, so fifteen minutes costs the same as a day at the same rate.” That is why the TronMax figure beside CatFee is the one it charges anyone walking up, not the lowest number it advertises.
One of these two pays us and the other does not: our TronMax link is a referral link, our CatFee link is a plain one. The prices are read the same way for both, and CatFee outranking TronMax on this page would cost us money without changing a line of it.
Away from price the two are built differently. CatFee has automatic top-ups and a dApp; TronMax has a marketplace. Which of those matters is a question about your integration, not about the rate.
