Who should use what

Use cases

How we checked

On 2 November 2026 we read each app's US App Store page and Apple's lookup data. An app is here only if its listing advertises price alerts; the alert types and free limits come from the listings. We did not install the apps or test how fast alerts arrive.

This page is about alerts. None of the apps here is a crypto exchange, and nothing on it is investment advice.
