# Comparison

> Bungee offers two routing modes: Auto and Manual. Here's how these modes differ and what this means for you.

## Auto Mode[​](#auto-mode "Direct link to Auto Mode")

**Auto Mode** is the new advanced routing mode, enabling users to just specify their preferences upfront via a gasless signature and Bungee automatically selects the best route and executes it onchain. Bungee Auto is designed to maximise efficiency, security and UX. Bungee Auto plugs into a vast marketplace of fillers, solvers and provers to provide best chain-abstracted swap execution to end users.

## Manual Mode[​](#manual-mode "Direct link to Manual Mode")

**Manual Mode** surfaces multiple routes for users/integrators to choose from. You will need to manually select and execute those routes depending on what your preferences are and also send transactions. Manual Mode surfaces routes that include swapping-providers and bridging-providers integrated by Bungee Team on supported networks.

It's a battle-tested solution with a proven track record.
