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 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.
