Short answer: Firo (FiroPoW) pool fees run from 0.1% to 1.5% across the 10 pools we track. The cheapest is firo.cedric-crispin.com at 0.1% (PPLNS). Fee alone is a weak signal: only one Firo pool in our directory reports a block counter above zero (smoozypool.es, 3 blocks reported by the pool, 1.5%). Pick by the pool's block record and payout scheme first, fee second.
firo.cedric-crispin.com (0.1%, PPLNS), ethcore.ru (0.5%, SOLO), firo-pplns.techminehub.com (0.5%, PPLNS). The fee is taken from every payout, but a pool that rarely finds blocks pays rarely whatever its fee — check its block history before chasing the lowest number.

A dash means the pool does not publish that field — it never means zero. These are the pools' own counters, not our check against the chain: some pool software also counts pending and orphaned blocks in them. 8 entries listed for FIRO in our catalogue (biconomy.com, bitmax.io, changelly.com, freiexchange.com, hitbtc.com, mexc.com, nonkyc.io, qutrade.io) are exchanges, not mining pools, and are excluded here.
PPLNS (pay-per-last-N-shares) pays out when the pool finds a block, split by each miner's part of the last N shares — your income follows the pool's luck. PPS (pay-per-share) pays for each share whether or not the pool finds a block — the pool operator carries that risk; PPS+ and FPPS also pass on transaction fees. PROP (proportional) splits each found block by the shares of that round. SOLO gives the entire block reward to the miner who finds the block.
Of the 10 Firo pools we track, 8 list PPLNS, 4 list SOLO (a pool can offer several schemes).
0.1% and 1.5% are the extremes of the published fees among the 10 Firo pools we track; the rest sit between them.
7 of the 10 Firo pools we track expose no block counter we could read in the last 48 hours. Mining Scan leaves the field blank rather than guessing; a blank is not evidence the pool is dead — check its miner count and hashrate movement.
Venue-confirmed routes — checked by us at the venue, each with the age of the check — are listed at mining-scan.com/sell/firo.
