The rarity level of an NFT is one of the first things that buyers usually want to know when considering what NFT to buy. Although the value of NFTs is highly speculative, this is one of the factors that we can easily check that contributes to the price of an NFT. Collectors like to show off their unique and rare NFTs as a type of status symbol and, of course, for the thrill of knowing they own something more special than others.

Below are five tools you can use to check NFT rarity.

Rarity Tools

Rarity Tools is the most well-known website for checking an NFT’s rarity. Not all projects are on the website, but many are. Simply search for the project and the NFT’s ID number (ex: CryptoPunk #5522). You’ll be able to check the NFT’s rarity rank and details of its traits, as well as other information about the project such as total sales volume and average prices.

Rarity Sniper

Rarity Sniper also has a large list of NFT collections across a few blockchains. In addition to using the website, you can also use their Discord channel to check the rarity of your NFT. To check an NFT’s rarity on Discord, you’ll need to use the bot command, which you can find in the channel. After entering the NFT’s details in the bot command, you’ll get an instant reply in the channel showing the NFT and its rarity ranking and other details. 

NFT Stats

NFT Stats is a great platform for getting an overview of the NFT market. It shows which NFTs are selling, which are not, trading volume in the last 24 hours, the latest record NFT sales, and more. There’s also an NFT Rarity Explorer tool for filtering NFT collections and discovering rare NFTs. It shows a rarity score based on the rarity of the NFT’s traits.

Traitsniper

Traitsniper works a bit differently from the other NFT rarity tools, as it only shows NFT collections that have just been revealed or are about to be revealed. However, it is a great tool for checking details such as the floor price, royalties, and where to find the project (such as Discord, OpenSea, etc). There are both paid and free versions, with the paid one offering extra perks and more information. 

HowRare.is

HowRare.is is an exclusive platform for Solana NFT collections. It works like the other rarity checking platforms; simply search the NFT collection you’re interested in and then enter the ID of the NFT you want to buy to find out how rare it is. The website also lists other details such as upcoming drops and details of the latest sales.
