Which one should you pick?
Pick Rug.Tools if
You want a free second opinion before buying, especially on bundled Solana launches.
The most complete free report of the series: nine documented steps from contract rules and liquidity quality to creator launch history, bundle detection and wallet relationships, ending in one of five verdicts, across Solana and six EVM chains. It is a young product with no public API and no launched token, so treat the verdict as a reading aid, not a certificate.

Pick RugCheck if
You trade Solana memecoins and want one free page that flags the obvious traps.
The default Solana check for a reason: paste a mint and you get a 0–100 risk score, the LP locked share, holder concentration, an insiders view and a token networks graph, all free, plus a free API for your own scripts. It stops at Solana and Fogo, with no charts, alerts or Telegram bot.
