Why CoinPriceAlert?

By Gurjeet Singh, developer of CoinPriceAlert · Every limit and price on this page is read from the code that enforces it

Short answer

Because every condition is re-checked on our servers every 5 seconds rather than on your phone, because crypto, stocks, metals, oil and forex sit in one watchlist instead of crypto alone, and because the app tells you how often a threshold would really have fired before you set it. 3 active alerts on every market, all three channels, home screen widget, daily digest, with no account and no card.

Written by the developer of CoinPriceAlert, so read it with that in mind. Everything below is generated from the code that enforces it — the alert limit the server applies, the markets it prices, the plan prices the paywall reads — so this page cannot promise something the app does not do. The section on what it does not do is not a formality; it is the same list the comparison pages use.

3 active alerts on every market, all three channels, home screen widget, daily digest. No card, no account.

What it does

Alerts run on our serversNot on your phone. Every enabled alert is re-checked every 5 seconds whether the app is open, closed or swiped away — and the app shows you the exact moment the servers last looked, so you never have to take it on trust.

One watchlist, five marketsCrypto (about 1,680 coins), 85 US stocks, 100 Indian (NSE) stocks, 10 commodities (gold, silver, WTI crude, Brent crude, copper, platinum, palladium, natural gas, corn, wheat) and 14 forex pairs, in one watchlist. Most alert apps do crypto only; this is the reason people keep it installed after the coin they were watching stops mattering.

Alert types beyond a priceA trailing stop follows a coin up and fires only on the way back down, so a winner keeps running and you still hear about the reversal. Volume spikes, RSI, MACD and EMA crossovers, new all-time highs and market-cap levels are all alert conditions, not just chart lines.

Repeat alerts that behaveAn alert at a level fires once, stays quiet while the price runs past it, and re-arms only when the price crosses back and crosses again — not every hour while it sits above the line. Switch on rebasing and each new alert measures from where the last one fired.

Three channels, any combinationPush notification, Telegram, and email (opt-in, verified address only), in any combination. No SMS, phone calls, Discord, Slack or webhooks.

Quiet hours and cooldownsQuiet hours in your time zone (held alerts are logged), plus a per-alert cooldown from 5 minutes to 1 day. Anything held overnight is logged and waiting for you in the morning rather than silently dropped.

A loud alarm for the ones that matterA 28-second alarm sound on a channel that cuts through Do Not Disturb, per alert. Everything else stays an ordinary notification.

A threshold planner built from real candlesBefore you set a percentage, the app shows how often that threshold actually fired on that asset over the last year of daily closes. It is the difference between "5% sounds about right" and knowing 5% would have woken you eleven times last month.

Home screen widget and a daily digestUp to six assets on the home screen without opening anything, and one summary a day at an hour you pick. Both are on the free plan.

It asks for nothing it does not needNo account to start — the app works as a guest, and you can add an email later. It asks for no exchange API key, wallet connection or seed phrase, so it cannot trade or move funds

What it deliberately does not do

A features page that lists only strengths is an advert. These are the things people ask for that the app does not have, so you can find out here rather than after installing.

No SMS, phone calls, Discord, Slack or webhooks. If you need an alert to reach a team channel, Cryptocurrency Alerting does that and this does not.
No public API and no webhooks, so nothing here can be wired into your own scripts.
No portfolio tracking, no trading, no wallet. Alerts are the whole product.
The free plan is 3 active alerts, which is smaller than several rivals'. It is deliberately the number at which the paywall is a real decision rather than a formality, and the comparison pages say where that loses.
The indicator set is fixed — RSI, MACD, EMA, volume, all-time high, market cap. You cannot write your own condition.

Why alerts stop arriving elsewhere, and what this does about it

The most common complaint about every app in this category is the same: the alerts quietly stopped and nobody said anything. It is almost never the alert engine. It is a link further down the chain — notification permission revoked months later, a push token the provider retired, battery optimisation holding notifications back on Android — and each of those fails silently, so you find out by missing the move.

This app checks the whole chain and names the broken link with a one-tap fix beside it, and shows you when our servers last checked your alerts, down to the second. That is a strange thing for an app to show a user. It exists because the alternative is silence that is indistinguishable from a broken service.

Where it runs

iOS, Android and a web app, from one account. Market data comes from CoinGecko for crypto market data; Yahoo Finance for stock, metal and forex quotes; Binance daily candles for the crypto alert planner. It is built by Gurjeet Singh, an independent developer, who also answers support email.

Set your first alert in about a minute. 3 active alerts on every market, all three channels, home screen widget, daily digest.

Frequently asked questions

What is CoinPriceAlert?

CoinPriceAlert is a price-alert app for crypto, US stocks, gold, silver, oil and major currency pairs. You set a price level or a percentage move once; the condition is checked on our servers around the clock, and the alert reaches your phone or Telegram even when the app is closed.

Is CoinPriceAlert free?

Yes, and it stays free: 3 active alerts on every market, all three channels, home screen widget, daily digest. Pro removes the alert limit and adds the alert types listed above — Pro $6.99/month or $48.99/year; Pro+ $14.99/month or $104.99/year (adds priority processing and support); 7-day free trial for new subscribers.

Do I need an account?

No: the app works as a guest, and you can add an email later. Nothing is required to set your first alert; an email address only matters if you want your alerts to follow you to a new phone, or to receive them by email.

Does it need my exchange API key or wallet?

Never. It asks for no exchange API key, wallet connection or seed phrase, so it cannot trade or move funds

How fast does an alert arrive?

Every 5 seconds on our servers, with the app closed. Binance-listed coins use a live price stream; stocks, metals and forex use quotes refreshed every minute

Which markets does it cover?

Crypto (about 1,680 coins), 85 US stocks, 100 Indian (NSE) stocks, 10 commodities (gold, silver, WTI crude, Brent crude, copper, platinum, palladium, natural gas, corn, wheat) and 14 forex pairs, in one watchlist.

What does it not do?

No SMS, phone calls, Discord, Slack or webhooks. If you need an alert to reach a team channel, Cryptocurrency Alerting does that and this does not. No public API and no webhooks, so nothing here can be wired into your own scripts. No portfolio tracking, no trading, no wallet. Alerts are the whole product.

Who builds it?

Gurjeet Singh, an independent developer, who also answers support email. It is not a venture-funded team, which is why support replies come from a person and why the roadmap is short and specific.
