CoinGecko review: enough free data for a daily reader, so who needs PremiumCoinGecko tracks over 18,000 coins and 1,500 exchanges without charging a reader a cent. We checked what the free site actually covers, tested its API status record, and worked out what an $8-a-month Premium subscription changes.
Glassnode Review: On-Chain Data Worth Paying For Solo?We opened a Glassnode Studio account, tried to read the on-chain metrics a casual holder actually cares about, and hit the paywall on the same charts a fund research desk relies on to see whether a personal Advanced subscription earns its $49 a month.
Nansen Review: Is Wallet Labelling Worth $49 a Month?We ran a Nansen Pro subscription for a month, followed its Smart Money leaderboard into three live trades, and checked whether 500 million labelled wallets actually beat free block explorers for a retail trader watching one or two chains.
Messari Review: Is the New $4,500 Enterprise Plan Worth It?We read Messari's asset profiles, checked its free Basic tier against the newly consolidated Enterprise plan, and worked out whether an active investor still gets enough for free after Messari retired its old Lite and Pro subscriptions and was bought by Blockworks.
CoinMarketCap review: still useful, but remember who owns itCoinMarketCap remains the most-cited price and ranking source in crypto, free and covering tens of millions of tokens. Binance has owned it since 2020, so we checked how that ownership sits against CoinGecko's independence before trusting either one blindly.
Arkham review: free whale tracking that beats paid alternativesWe spent a week following the wallets behind crypto headlines through Arkham's entity labels and alerts, at no cost, to see whether a free tool can really replace what Nansen and Arkham's own paid rivals charge a monthly fee for.
DefiLlama Review: Free TVL Data That Beats Most Paid ToolsWe spent a week tracking DeFi news through DefiLlama's free TVL, yield and fee dashboards, compared its $49 Pro tier and $300 API tier against what Messari and Nansen charge for similar data, and checked how its stricter TVL methodology changes the numbers you see.
