| Line | Birdeye | Honeypot.is |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Free account · paid packagesA free account gives you an API key, and usage is then metered in compute units with paid packages and overage billing; the published price list starts at $39 a month for the Data API Lite plan. | Free · public API, no keyFree and open: no account, and the v2 API answers without a key. A live call returned the full simulation, including taxes, gas, contract flags and pair liquidity. |

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 Honeypot.is if
You are about to buy on BSC, Ethereum or Base and want the one answer that matters: can I sell it?
The narrowest tool of the series and the one with the fewest excuses: it actually buys and sells the token for you and reports the result, with buy, sell and transfer taxes, gas, the honeypot reason, open-source and proxy flags, and the pair's liquidity. Three chains only, and nothing about holders or wallets.
