No sign-up and no wallet required to see the score. | The contact-page FAQ says access to basic features is available to the public, and that advanced analytics and security features may require specific actions.

| What an API audit includes | Full report adds top-20 holders, LP burn/lock details, market metrics and a launch-bundle / sniper heuristic for tokens up to 7 days old. | The API page says each scan can cover liquidity, the top 50 holders, liquidity details, deployer information and audit risks, plus Snifscore, security features, token data and socials. |

Where Rugsight differs
- Rugsight's full-report API is priced per call in USDC, with no monthly quota. Solsniffer's public API is sold as monthly (or yearly) call bundles, starting with 100 free calls per month.
- Rugsight publishes an MCP server and a Telegram check bot.
- Rugsight publishes curated token comparison pages, a new-token feed and issuer-controlled (IC) grades for a short allowlist of known issuer-backed assets.
- Solsniffer's public API page emphasizes a Snifscore from 20+ indicators, top-50 holder distribution and deployer information under a proprietary algorithm.
When SolSniffer may be the better fit
- You want Solsniffer's Snifscore, or the specific fields it lists (including top-50 holders and deployer information) inside a monthly API quota.
- You need a high monthly call volume under a single subscription (for example the Pro plan's 230,000 calls/month, as listed on 10 Nov 2026).
- You already use Solsniffer's site or API and want to stay with that score.
- You want to request a Snifscore reassessment through Solsniffer's token whitelisting form — a process Rugsight does not offer.
