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 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.
