TradingView alerts vs CoinPriceAlert
Pick TradingView if you chart: alerts on indicators, drawings and strategies, multi-condition logic and webhooks to automate trades are far beyond what an alert app does. Pick CoinPriceAlert if you want to be told when something moves without drawing anything: 3 free alerts instead of three, Telegram delivery, quiet hours, alerts that do not expire, and RSI, MACD and EMA crossover alerts on Pro at $6.99 a month.
Written by the developer of CoinPriceAlert, so read it with that in mind.

Where TradingView is better
- Technical alerts on indicators, drawings and strategies, with multi-condition logic. CoinPriceAlert offers a fixed set: RSI, volume, MACD and EMA crossovers, trailing stops.
- Webhooks, for automating trades or feeding other tools.
- Market coverage across 150+ exchanges, and full charting to go with every alert.
- Desktop apps and a large community of published scripts and ideas.
Where CoinPriceAlert is better
- 3 free alerts against TradingView Basic's 3 price alerts, and free alerts do not expire after a month.
- Telegram delivery, which TradingView does not list, plus push and email.
- Quiet hours in your time zone, so a 3 a.m. crypto move does not wake you unless you want it to.
- Unlimited alerts on Pro at $6.99 a month; on TradingView the alert count rises with each plan tier.
- Nothing to draw: percentage, trailing, bulk and big-move alerts work straight from a coin or market list.
Which to pick
Choose TradingView if you trade from charts and want alerts on your own indicators, drawings or scripts. Choose CoinPriceAlert if you want reliable price, percentage and indicator alerts on your phone or in Telegram without a charting subscription. 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.
