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 13 exchanges, and announcements ahead of the open on the 5 that publish a notice feed — plus watched coins, a per-coin listing watchlist across all 13 exchanges |
| Delivery speed | ~15–25s typical delivery | Median 2.8s from price cross to notification |
| Coverage | 20,000+ coins across 30+ exchanges | 13,000+ pairs across 13 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 13,000+ pairs across 13 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 13 exchanges — a live alert the moment trading opens on any of them, and on the ones that publish a listing-notice feed (Binance, Bybit, OKX, Bitget and KuCoin), an announcement alert ahead of the open — alongside price crosses pinned to a real exchange feed.
