Decision guide

What matters most before choosing in this category

The right tool depends on how fresh its approval data is and what it asks you to sign. The failure mode here is false comfort: a list that misses a live approval tells you that you are safe when you are not, which is worse than checking nothing. A tool whose job is removing dangerous approvals should never itself request a signature beyond the revocation — and a paywall landing on the safety-critical feature changes what the free tier actually protects.

Key question

Which chains hold approvals you have never revoked?

Key question

How much sits in the wallets those approvals can reach?

Key question

Which chains hold your approvals, and does the tool index all of them today?

Web app to inspect and revoke ERC-20 and NFT approvals across EVM chains

Data checked Aug 2026

Web app to inspect and revoke ERC-20 and NFT approvals across EVM chains. Strongest on chain coverage and whether it is current (9/10): Homepage claims "100+ networks supported". The FAQ page, fetched the same day, enumerates 80+ mainnet chains plus 6 testnets — the two official surfaces do not agree, so treat 100+ as a marketing round-up. Even at the FAQ's lower number it is roughly 5x the next-best aggregator here and ~27x MetaMask Portfolio's three… Weakest on maintenance and funding durability (8/10): Repo pushed 2026-08-02, last commit 2026-08-01 — active within days. Funding is now explicit and multi-stream rather than donation-hopeful: $99/$199 annual subscriptions, a $1.50 free-tier batch fee, network sponsors covering that fee on some chains, plus FAIRSIDE (insurance coverage tab) and PUDGY_API_KEY ("Pudgy… Published price: Free: "$0". Premium: "$99/year • 10 wallets included". Ultimate: "$199/year • 10 wallets included". Batch revoke: "$1.50 per batch" on Free, "No fee" on Premium & Ultimate. FAQ (revoke.cash/faq) adds verbatim: "The core Revoke.cash tools are free: inspecting…

Main tradeoff

Most 2026 guides still describe Revoke.cash as "the free open-source revoke tool". That is out of date. Multichain scanning and the multichain exploit checker are behind a $99/yr paywall, and batch revoking costs free users $1.50 per batch. The free tier is single-chain — which means the default experience is precisely the partial view this category is supposed to eliminate.

Free: "$0". Premium: "$99/year • 10 wallets included". Ultimate: "$199/year • 10 wallets included". Batch revoke: "$1.50 per batch" on Free, "No fee" on Premium & Ultimate. FAQ (revoke.cash/faq) adds verbatim: "The core Revoke.cash tools are free: inspecting approvals and revoking them one by one only costs the network's gas fee." and "Premium adds multichain convenience and proactive protection, helping fund the free public tools. On certain networks, the batch fee is covered by a sponsor."

Rabby Wallet — Token Approval

Approval manager built into an EVM wallet, with batch revoke

Approval manager built into an EVM wallet, with batch revoke. Strongest on maintenance and funding durability (9/10): The most actively maintained project in this set by a clear margin: RabbyHub/Rabby was pushed 2026-08-05 (the day of research) and rabby-mobile the same day; the org's eight most recent repos were all pushed within the prior 30 days. 1,869 stars, not archived. Backed by the DeBank company rather than by donations, so… Weakest on data freshness & verifiability (6/10): The client is open, but the index is not. package.json at version 0.94.1 (fetched from raw.githubusercontent.com/RabbyHub/Rabby/master/package.json) depends on @debank/common 0.3.60 and @rabby-wallet/rabby-api 0.9.62 — the approval list is served by DeBank's hosted backend, not derived from the user's own RPC. There… Published price: not published. rabby.io serves a JavaScript-only shell; the fetched document contained no pricing, fee, subscription or funding text of any kind. Revoking costs network gas. Rabby's own revenue model is not disclosed on the homepage.

Best for: Maintenance and funding durability — 9/10

Etherscan Token Approval Checker

Approval list and revoke UI built into the block explorer itself

Approval list and revoke UI built into the block explorer itself. Strongest on data freshness & verifiability (8/10): Structurally the freshest source available, because Etherscan is not consuming an index — it IS the index that other tools query. Revoke.cash's own .example.env carries ETHERSCAN_API_KEYS "for every chain that is supported through Etherscan and its related explorers", so checking Etherscan directly removes one hop… Weakest on chain coverage and whether it is current (3/10): One chain per explorer, with no aggregation whatsoever. Etherscan covers Ethereum; the identical feature on Optimism lives on a separate host (info-optimistic.etherscan.io/tokenapprovalchecker/), and the same applies to BscScan, Polygonscan, Arbiscan and Basescan. There is no single view, no cross-chain summary, and… Published price: No price is published on the official documentation page. It describes the tool as giving "a clear view of all the smart contracts and corresponding tokens you have allowed to spend on your behalf" and states users can "revoke their approval or decrease the…

Frequently asked

Questions people ask before choosing token approval & revoke tools

Does an empty approval list mean I am safe?

Only if the list is current. Approval data comes from an indexer, and an indexer that is behind shows a clean screen while a live approval is still draining-capable. Freshness carries the heaviest weight here because a stale list is worse than no tool: it converts uncertainty into false comfort.

What should a revoke tool never ask me to sign?

Anything beyond the revocation itself. A product whose purpose is removing dangerous approvals has no reason to request a broader signature or write access, so the trust surface — what it asks for, whether the source is public, whether access is read-only — is scored at 25%.

What matters most when picking a revoke tool?

Freshness and the trust surface — 60% of the weight between them. Then whether the chain coverage is current, and whether anyone is still maintaining it.
