What changed at CoinGlass
As ofOn CoinMarketCap announced that it has acquired CoinGlass. CoinMarketCap itself is owned by Binance, which acquired it in 2020.
CoinGlass says its pricing and free tools are unchanged. Its Prime plan costs $28 a month ($78 a quarter, $268 a year), and API plans run from $29 to $699 a month.
If you would rather use a data site that no exchange owns, or want live spike alerts and HIP-3 data next to funding and open interest, the comparison below shows what this site covers and what it doesn't.

¹ Binance's public liquidation stream sends at most one liquidation per symbol per second, so any site using it (this one included) shows a sample of Binance liquidations. CoinGlass says the same about its Binance data.
² Alert channels as CoinGlass lists them; we have not checked which are free.
³ Available on the free tier, so also included with Prime; Prime mainly adds liquidation heatmap models and auto-refresh.
— means we have not verified it either way. Check coinglass.com for its current features.
What you get here, free
- Live volume spikes with sound. The spike feed updates every few seconds and can beep or send a desktop notification when a spike matches your filters.
- What happened next. Every spike shows the price move 5 minutes, 15 minutes and 1 hour later, with averages per side on the pump scanner pages.
- Liquidation heatmaps. An estimated liquidation heatmap and map for the coins with the most open interest, over 12 hours to 30 days.
- Hyperliquid whales. The whale tracker shows the largest open positions and whale moves from real on-chain positions.
- Hyperliquid HIP-3 coverage. Stock, index and commodity perps with funding, open interest, OI-cap use and mark-vs-oracle basis.
- Auto-refresh at no cost. The live pages (spike feed, liquidations, funding, open interest) update on their own; CoinGlass lists auto-refresh as a Prime feature.
- Free API. The JSON endpoints behind these pages are public: no key, no signup.
- No login. No account, no email. Filters and watchlists stay in your browser.
- Independent. Not owned by an exchange. Some trade links are referral links, disclosed in the footer; we never sell placement in the data.
What CoinGlass has that we don't (yet)
- One liquidation heatmap model, estimated from open interest changes; CoinGlass Prime offers several heatmap models.
- No options data.
- No ETF flows.
- No alert delivery by Telegram, Discord or email yet: alerts are in-browser sounds and desktop notifications.
