Birdeye review
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.

Who it’s for
Pick it if
You want to build or feed a dashboard with prices, holders and liquidity, and you might as well get paid for referring it.
Skip it if
You only need a quick “is this contract a trap?” answer and no data pipeline.
Strengths / Limits
Strengths
- The only referral program documented across the whole series: published tiers, discount for the referee, 10 USDC minimum payout, payouts on the 1st and the 15th.
- 17 chains documented with their API parameters, Solana, Robinhood and Monad included.
- Free account and free API key before any payment, with a documented compute-unit model.
- Holder analytics, liquidity OHLC and a cross-DEX price scanner documented as first-class endpoints.
Limits
- No risk score: the checks come back as separate API fields (mint authority, freeze authority, isHoneypot, holder tags), not as one documented rating.
- The free Standard tier is capped at 30,000 compute units a month and 1 request per second; paid packages run from $39 (Lite) to $2,050 a month (Business B-50).
- birdeye.so answers a plain request with a Cloudflare challenge, so only the documentation domain could be read directly.

How to start safely
- Open the official site
Type birdeye.so yourself or use a bookmark: scam copies of popular scanners exist too.
- Paste the token address
Use the contract address from the launchpad or the DEX pair, never a ticker: dozens of tokens share a name.
- Read the red flags first
Mint or freeze authority still active, unlocked liquidity, a few wallets holding most of the supply, snipers and linked wallets.
- Cross-check before you buy
Confirm on a second scanner and on the chain explorer, look at who is buying with a wallet tracker, then size the trade small.
