For me, I am using Etherscan because I got used to it, when I started investing in ETH and ETH tokens, I've been using that site already to check my balance but sometimes when Etherscan is down, Ethplorer is a good alternative for me, I don't know if there are other websites that has the same function but I'm only familiar with these two. Unfortunately now, I don't anymore access the site as my tokens are just sleeping, looks dead probably, so it's not fun to check it from time to time anymore.
for now, there are indeed many tokens from bounties that do not go up or even let them die, for now indeed the price of tokens does not surge at all when checking in our wallet.
