The Solana rug checkers worth knowing besides RugCheck, what each one checks, which chains it covers and what it costs, checked in September 2026.
RugCheck is the default Solana rug checker for good reason. These are the other tools that check the same things, with what each does better or worse. Everything was checked on the tools' own sites on 25 September 2026.
Whatever tool you use, the core checks are the same: whether mint authority and freeze authority are revoked, whether the pool's liquidity is burned or locked, how much of the supply the top 10 holders own, and whether the token uses Token-2022 extensions that give the issuer control. The better tools add insider, sniper and bundle detection.
Several of these tools read the same underlying data, and some read each other. Treat agreement between two tools as one signal, not two.
In no particular order after NAVI. Costs and features are as of September 2026 and can change.
NAVI's rug check runs six checks on every token page (mint authority, freeze authority, top-10 share, the liquidity lock on the largest pool, pool liquidity and token age) and lists named risks with plain explanations. The contract data comes from RugCheck, so NAVI is a different view of the same facts rather than an independent second opinion. What it adds is a separate risk score from price history, a holder bubble map that groups linked wallets, alerts when a token rises to High risk and a swap panel. It shows less insider detail than RugCheck and has no API.
Best for: Checking a token and keeping an eye on it in one place.
GeckoTerminal, run by CoinGecko, shows its own GT Score alongside third-party scans it names as GoPlus and De.Fi. For Solana tokens it reports mint and freeze authority, a honeypot field, the creator's address and holding, and holder distribution in bands (top 10, 11 to 20, 21 to 40). Its score leans on pool, transaction, age and listing information, so a token scores better for being listed on CoinGecko. We did not find insider or bundle analysis.
Best for: Quick checks across many chains, next to a price chart.
Solana Tracker advertises twenty security checks and shows a risk score out of 10 with LP burned, top-10 holders, dev holding, snipers, insiders and bundlers on each token page, without a login. It sits inside a trading terminal and a data API. Its documentation describes the score as 1 to 10 with higher meaning riskier, while token pages show values such as 0/10, so read the scale on the page you are looking at.
Best for: Sniper, insider and bundler percentages at a glance.
Solsniffer gives each token a Snifscore out of 100 with mint and freeze status, LP burned or locked, top-10 holders, a list of risks, the creator's address and liquidity per pool. Results are cached: the scan we opened was more than a year old until refreshed, so press refresh before relying on it.
Best for: A second Solana-only score with its own methodology.
De.Fi Scanner comes from EVM smart-contract auditing and is strongest there: it groups findings into risk levels, checks for honeypots and exports PDF reports. Its banner says Solana tokens are now supported, but its FAQ still lists only EVM chains, so we could not confirm how deep its Solana coverage goes.
Best for: Traders who also hold tokens on Ethereum and other EVM chains.
TokenSniffer, owned by Solidus Labs, began on EVM chains and added Solana in March 2025, with Solana sniper and insider detection from August 2025 according to its API changelog. It covers Pump.fun, PumpSwap, Raydium, Orca and Meteora pools. Its website sits behind a bot check, so we could only verify it through its API documentation.
Best for: Teams that need one scanner and one API across EVM chains and Solana.
GoPlus is an API rather than a website, and several other tools use it. Its Solana endpoint is strong on Token-2022 risks: it reports whether a token is mintable, freezable or closable, whether metadata and balances can be changed, transfer fees, transfer hooks and non-transferable settings, plus holders and LP holders. It is a good choice if you are building your own checks.
Best for: Developers and bot builders.
If you already swap on Jupiter, its token pages show mint and freeze authority, top-10 share, dev holding, sniper and insider percentages, an organic score that discounts bot activity, and verification status, with warnings for impersonators. It is not a standalone rug checker, but it covers the basics where many people trade. See NAVI vs Jupiter for how the two fit together.
Best for: A last check at the moment you swap.
If you only trade Solana and want depth, RugCheck, Solana Tracker and Solsniffer are the specialists. If you trade across chains, GeckoTerminal and TokenSniffer cover more networks. If you want the check next to a price chart, a holder map and alerts, that is where NAVI fits. If you are building a bot, GoPlus and RugCheck both offer free API access.
No checker can tell you whether a team will abandon a token or whether a large holder will sell. A clean result means the obvious traps are not there. It does not mean the token is safe.
Competitor features and prices were checked on their public pages on 25 September 2026 and can change. Nothing here is financial advice.
Paste a Solana contract address or ticker. The rug check is free and needs no account.
