Written by the developer of CoinPriceAlert, so read it with that in mind. Every Coinigy fact below comes from Coinigy's own pages on the date shown; where they do not publish something, the table says "Not published" rather than guessing. If anything has changed, email us and it will be corrected.

Where Coinigy is better
- SMS alerts, with $5 of credit included every month, rollover of unused credit and top-ups. CoinPriceAlert has no SMS.
- A real trading terminal: orders from the chart on the 45-plus exchanges it supports, 75+ technical indicators, and unlimited chart layouts.
- Alerts on one exchange’s own price and volume, rather than an averaged price, which matters if you trade that specific book.
- A sound per alert and a note per alert, set at the moment you create it.
- An enterprise data feed and historical data you can build against.
Where CoinPriceAlert is better
- Native iOS and Android apps with push notifications, a home screen widget and Telegram delivery; Coinigy alerts arrive in a browser tab, by email or by SMS.
- 185 US and Indian stocks, gold, silver, oil and 14 forex pairs beside crypto.
- Price: 3 free alerts, then $6.99 a month with no cap on alerts, against Pro Trader at $18.66 a month.
- Alert types past price and volume: percentage moves, trailing stops, RSI, new all-time highs, market cap and MACD and EMA crossovers.
- Quiet hours in your time zone and a per-alert cooldown, neither of which Coinigy documents.
- A published checking interval: every 5 seconds on our servers, where Coinigy names its feed but publishes no interval.
- It never asks for an exchange API key, because it cannot trade.
Which to pick
Choose Coinigy if you trade several exchanges from one screen and want SMS when a book moves. Choose CoinPriceAlert if you want alerts on your phone, across crypto, stocks, metals and forex, for a few dollars a month. Both can be tried free, so the fairest test is to set the same alert on each and see which notification you actually act on.
Setting one up here: crypto price alerts, percentage alerts, alerts in Telegram, or every market and alert type.
