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 Token Sniffer if
You want one score per contract on Ethereum, BSC, Base or Solana before you buy.
The veteran of contract auditing, now run by Solidus Labs, and the only tool here that documents both EVM chains and Solana from one score. It reads owner privileges, modifiable fees and liquidity locks, and returns a 0–100 score you can act on; what it does not do is charts, alerts, wallet clustering or snipers.
