Birdeye vs Honeypot.is
Same checks, side by side: price, what each scanner verifies, chains and features, from their official pages.
| 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 documentation describes quotas and extra charges but publishes no price list. | 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 15 chains, Solana first. What it does not document is contract risk: no mint or freeze flag, no honeypot simulation, no 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.
