Swap Fees
Apart from the Algorand fixed fees, a user has to pay a swap fee which is 0.01%, 0.05%, 0.3% or 1% depending on available pools. That fee is charged from input or output swap transactions.

Slippage
You may need to adjust slippage in the settings depending on the size of the swap you're making and the liquidity of the pool.
