Which one should you pick?
Pick Birdeye if
You want to build or feed a dashboard with prices, holders and liquidity, and you might as well get paid for referring it.
A data platform rather than a scanner, and the only tool in this series with a documented referral program: free account, key in hand, real-time prices, OHLCV, holder analytics and liquidity across 17 chains, Solana first. Contract risk is documented too, through the Birdeye Data API: mint and freeze authority flags on Solana, an isHoneypot flag on EVM (Solana has no honeypot flag) and holder tags for bundlers, snipers, insiders and devs, but no risk score.

Pick De.Fi Scanner if
You check EVM contracts before signing, and you want a score plus an approval revoker in the same place.
The industrial option on EVM: 80+ checks per contract, a security score, an AI score built on reputation, sybil and swap behaviour, top-10 holder and liquidity endpoints, and a wallet shield that revokes approvals. Everything is EVM-only, the chain list is published as a count rather than a table, and its referral and pricing pages are rendered client-side, so their conditions could not be read.
