Which one should you pick?
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.

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.
