Why it ranks first

Why Revoke.cash leads this category right now

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): the FAQ lists 90 mainnets plus 6 testnets, including Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, zkSync Era, Linea, Scroll and Blast, while the Premium page says "Revoke approvals on 100+ networks". The free tier covers "One chain at a time", which keeps it at 9 rather than 10. Weakest on maintenance and funding durability (8/10): commits landed on 2026-09-03, 2026-09-04 and 2026-09-10, and the repo is not archived. 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.

Best for

Chain coverage and whether it is current — 9/10

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 That is out of date.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.

Verify before signup

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 (5/10): the client is open but the index is not. The approvals hook calls openapiClient.tokenAuthorizedList against Rabby's hosted API (https://api.rabby.io), not the user's RPC or a public explorer, so a user cannot reproduce the list's completeness, and no approval article says what the index cannot see. Published price: No fee is published for Rabby's Approvals feature; revoking is an on-chain transaction paid in network gas.

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 maintenance and funding durability (8/10): Etherscan is active — its Terms were revised on 13 August 2026 and its V2 chain list carries 62 chains, including Robinhood Chain — and it is funded by paid API plans ("Standard $199 /mo") that do not depend on the approval feature. The checker's own Knowledge Base article returned a Cloudflare challenge on 15 September 2026, which keeps it at 8. 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: Not readable on 2026-09-15: etherscan.io/tokenapprovalchecker and its Knowledge Base article at info.etherscan.com/tokenapprovals/ returned a Cloudflare security challenge (HTTP 403) to curl and headless Chrome, so no price or fee is stated here.

MetaMask Portfolio — Token Approvals

Approvals view inside Consensys' portfolio dapp, five networks listed

Approvals view inside Consensys' portfolio dapp, five networks listed. Strongest on maintenance and funding durability (7/10): Consensys is a well-capitalised going concern and Portfolio is funded by adjacent swap/staking revenue, so the feature is not exposed to standalone-security-tool economics. But the help article carries no publication or last-updated date, and it still recommends approved.zone — a tool that serves an anonymous 4.5KB… Weakest on chain coverage and whether it is current (3/10): the spending-caps article lists five networks ("Ethereum Mainnet Polygon BNB Chain Optimism Base"), while MetaMask's general revoke guide still says "It's available on Ethereum Mainnet, Polygon, and BNB Chain." Neither lists Arbitrum, zkSync Era, Linea, Scroll or Blast, and the vendor's two pages disagree. Published price: No subscription or service fee is published for spending caps (token approvals) in MetaMask Portfolio.

Direct answer

What is the best revoke tool in 2026?

Revoke.cash ranks #1 overall for token approval & revoke tools on ChainChoice. Web app to inspect and revoke ERC-20 and NFT approvals across EVM chains. It holds that rank under an affiliate-blind methodology scored across 4 published, weighted criteria — the code that ranks providers physically cannot read affiliate payouts (CI-enforced), so a payout can't move a rank. The verdict re-computes on every fee change, incident, or regulatory action; the full reasoning and the audit receipt are under Methodology.

FAQs

3 questions readers ask before choosing token approval & revoke tools.

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.
