Keep the charts. Move the alerts.
TradingView is the best charting platform in the business — that's not in dispute here. But if what you need is price alerts, you're paying charting prices for them: capped per tier, expiring after two months below Premium, with never-expiring alerts starting at $69.95/mo. For the watchlist itself, there's a cheaper, uncapped way.
What TradingView alerts cost, tier by tier
Two limits matter, and they compound. First the caps: active price alerts run from 3 on Free to 1,000 on Ultimate. Second the expiry: below Premium, every alert stops after two months — the cycle-target alert you set in March is gone by May. And 2026 prices rose roughly 17–20% across tiers.
| PRICE / MO | PRICE ALERTS | ALERT EXPIRY | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free (Basic) | $0 | 3 | After 2 months |
| Essential | $14.95 | 20 | After 2 months |
| Plus | $34.95 | 100 | After 2 months |
| Premium | $69.95 | 400 | Never |
| Ultimate | $239.95 | 1000 | Never |
(Indicator alerts are tracked separately at the same caps — TradingView's own doc phrases Premium as 800 active alerts, 400 price + 400 technical. We quote the price-alert slots, since that's the feature being compared.)
For price alerts specifically
| TRADINGVIEW | COINSENTRY | |
|---|---|---|
| Alert cap | 3–1,000 price alerts by tier | Unlimited on the one plan |
| Expiry | 2 months below Premium; never from Premium ($69.95/mo) up | Never, on any plan |
| Cost for never-expiring alerts | $69.95/mo (Premium) | $7.99/mo, or $64.99/yr ($5.42/mo) |
| Channels | App + email; webhooks on paid plans | Email + private Telegram free; Unlimited adds webhooks, Slack, Discord and Telegram groups — every channel unlimited |
| Scope | Everything — stocks, forex, crypto, and world-class charts | Crypto only — 13,000+ pairs across 13 exchanges |
| Charting | The best there is | None. Deliberately. |
Chart there, get pinged here
The setup we'd actually run: a free TradingView plan for charting, and the standing watchlist on coinsentry — unlimited levels across Binance and 12 other exchanges, each pinned to that exchange's real feed, delivered to Telegram, Discord, Slack, email or webhooks a median 2.8 seconds after the cross. Total cost: $64.99/yr ($5.42/mo) — versus $69.95/mo for the TradingView tier where alerts stop expiring.
Fair questions, straight answers
Active price alerts by plan: Free 3, Essential 20, Plus 100, Premium 400, Ultimate 1,000 — technical (indicator) alerts are tracked separately at the same caps. TradingView's own docs phrase Premium as 800 active alerts, counting both kinds together.
Below Premium, yes — alerts stop after two months and must be re-created. Never-expiring alerts start at Premium, $69.95/mo. coinsentry alerts never expire on any plan.
For pure price alerts, yes. TradingView's no-expiry threshold is Premium at $69.95/mo. coinsentry is $7.99/mo (or $5.42/mo annually) for unlimited never-expiring crypto alerts across 13,000+ pairs — but it does charts not at all, and crypto only.
That's the workflow we'd recommend: chart on TradingView's free plan, run the always-on price watchlist somewhere uncapped. Nothing about either tool conflicts with the other.
Yes — the Unlimited plan includes webhooks (HMAC-signed JSON POST with custom headers and method), alongside Telegram, Discord, Slack and email, and every account starts with a 30-day free trial of all of it. On TradingView, webhook notifications are a paid-plan feature too.
