CoinPriceAlert vs Coinwink
Pick Coinwink if you want alerts by email or SMS, prefer a web page to an app, or value open source and a service that has run since 2016. Pick CoinPriceAlert if you want a native app with push or Telegram delivery, quiet hours, stocks, gold, oil and forex in the same list as your coins, a read-only portfolio with P&L, and a lower paid price.

Which to pick
Choose Coinwink if you want email or SMS and a plain web page, or you care about open source. Choose CoinPriceAlert if you live on your phone or in Telegram and hold more than crypto. Both have free tiers, so the honest advice is to set one alert on each and see which notification you actually read.
Never miss a move in the markets you follow
Set a price or percentage alert once and get a push notification the moment it triggers — free, with quiet hours so nothing wakes you at 3am.
