An alternative to the incumbent.
Cryptocurrency Alerting is the category's veteran, and a good product — whale, gas and funding-rate alerts we don't offer, SMS and phone-call delivery. This page is for the buyer it doesn't fit: the one who wants an unlimited watchlist on one flat price, a bigger free plan, and no tier arithmetic.
Who should pick which — no hedging
The numbers, side by side
| CRYPTOCURRENCY ALERTING | COINSENTRY | |
|---|---|---|
| Free tier | Hobby — 3 active alerts, 10 notifications | 10 price alerts + listing and delisting alerts for one exchange + 3 watched coins, to email + private Telegram — notifications unlimited, alerts never expire, no card |
| Paid entry | $3.99/mo billed yearly ($47.88) or $7.99 month-to-month | One plan: $7.99/mo, or $64.99/yr ($5.42/mo) |
| Plan model | Tiered — alert volume and channels scale with plan (Pro $19.99/mo billed yearly ($239.88)) | Flat — everything unlimited on the one plan |
| Channels | 9 channels incl. SMS and phone call | Email + private Telegram free; Unlimited adds webhooks, Slack, Discord and Telegram groups — every channel unlimited |
| Alert types | Price, plus whale, ETH gas, listings, funding — the widest catalog | Price crosses + new listing / delisting alerts on every plan — live the moment trading opens on all 18 exchanges, and early alerts ahead of the open on 7 of them — plus watched coins, a per-coin listing watchlist across all 18 exchanges |
| Delivery speed | ~15–25s typical delivery | Median 2.8s from price cross to notification |
| Coverage | 20,000+ coins across 30+ exchanges | 15,000+ pairs across 18 exchanges |
| Expiry | Alerts don't expire | Never |
Channel parity is the whole pitch
Strip the two products to their philosophies and the choice gets easy. Cryptocurrency Alerting sells breadth: many alert types, many channels, portioned by tier. coinsentry sells parity: one plan where Telegram, Discord, Slack, email and signed webhooks are all just there, on an unlimited watchlist across 15,000+ pairs across 18 exchanges, with no exchange account or api keys and delivery a median 2.8 seconds after the cross. If you've ever opened a pricing page to check whether your plan includes the channel you need — that's the moment this product was built for.
Fair questions, straight answers
At the same month-to-month sticker — $7.99 — Cryptocurrency Alerting's Trader plan caps you at a set alert volume while coinsentry includes everything unlimited. Billed annually theirs is $3.99/mo to coinsentry's $5.42/mo, but the like-for-like comparison is their Pro at $19.99/mo annually — that's where unlimited-ish volume and all channels live.
Yes — the Hobby tier: 3 active alerts and 10 notifications, total. coinsentry's free plan is 10 price alerts plus listing and delisting alerts on 1 exchange and 3 watched coins, to email and private Telegram, with unlimited notifications and no expiry — and every account starts with a 30-day unlimited trial, no card.
coinsentry publishes a median of 2.8 seconds from price cross to notification; Cryptocurrency Alerting typically delivers in about 15–25 seconds. For most alerting jobs both are fine; for tight entries the difference is real.
No — and Cryptocurrency Alerting does, on paid tiers. If a phone ringing is your required wake-up channel, that's a point for them, plainly. coinsentry's channels are Telegram, Discord, Slack, email and webhooks — email + private Telegram on the free plan, all five on Unlimited.
No — whale transactions, ETH gas and funding rates remain Cryptocurrency Alerting's territory, and if you need those triggers it's the better fit. Listings are no longer on that list: coinsentry now does new-listing and delisting alerts across its 18 exchanges — a live alert the moment trading opens on any of them, and on Binance, Bybit, OKX, Bitget, KuCoin, Upbit and Bithumb, an early alert when the listing is announced, ahead of the open — alongside price crosses pinned to a real exchange feed.
