Crypto price comparison across exchanges
The same coin trades at a slightly different price on every venue. CoinBeacon combines feeds from 46 exchanges into one normalized pipeline, so you can compare them side by side and pin a price alert to the exchange you trade on.
Prices from every exchange that lists a coin
The same coin can have a slightly different price on each exchange. CoinBeacon follows 46 exchanges at once, so your alerts use real prices from wherever you actually trade.
- All in one view. See a coin's price across exchanges side by side, and catch when one moves first.
- Pick your exchange. Watch a coin on one exchange, or on all of them at once.
- Spot and futures. Covers regular and futures markets on the big exchanges.
Including the futures markets of Binance, Bybit, OKX, Kraken, KuCoin, Gate.io, Bitget, HTX and BingX.

How to compare a coin's price across exchanges
- 01Pick the coinOpen the price-comparison screen and search any of the 6,000+ coins CoinBeacon tracks. Every venue that lists the pair lines up in one table; a thin microcap shows only the feeds that carry it.
- 02Narrow it to the market you tradeFilter to spot or to perpetual futures, or keep both. Comparing a perp against a spot book tells you less than comparing two books you could actually place an order on.
- 03Read the ranking and the spreadVenues sort cheapest to most expensive, each row showing how far it sits from the best price, with the high-to-low spread in dollars and percent above them. On a quiet major that gap is fractions of a percent; in a fast move or a thin market it widens.
- 04Turn the view into an alertOnce you know which venue matters, set a price alert on it, so it fires on that exchange's price and no other. Email, Telegram, Discord or webhook, each alert with its own cooldown.
Common uses
Find the best crypto exchange price for a coin
Before placing an order, you can see which venue is cheapest and by how much. The same normalized prices sit under the rest of CoinBeacon: the market scanner reads them too, so the number that triggers an alert is the number you compared.
Set a price alert on one specific exchange
If you trade on Kraken, an alert firing on a Binance print is noise. Pin a price alert to the venue you actually have an account on and it only reacts to that book.
Catch the exchange that moves first
Moves rarely land everywhere at once; one venue often leads. Watching a coin across all of them shows you which, and pump and dump alerts catch sharp moves on coins you aren't already watching.
Spot and futures venues side by side
Coverage includes the futures markets of Binance, Bybit, OKX, Kraken, KuCoin, Gate.io, Bitget, HTX and BingX, so a perp and its spot market can sit in the same table. When the question is what the perp side is paying rather than where it trades, the funding rate board compares 8 futures exchanges on a common basis.
Tracking across exchanges FAQ
- How do I compare a coin's price across crypto exchanges?
- Open the price-comparison screen and pick the coin. Every venue that lists it lines up in one table, ranked cheapest to most expensive, with each row's distance from the best price and the high-to-low spread shown in dollars and percent. Narrow the view to spot markets or to perpetual futures, or keep both.
- Which exchanges does CoinBeacon track?
- 46 exchanges, including Binance, Coinbase, Kraken, Bybit, OKX, KuCoin, Gate.io, MEXC, Upbit and HTX, and the futures markets of 9 of them. Together they cover 6,000+ coins in one normalized price stream.
- Why does the same coin have different prices on different exchanges?
- Each exchange runs its own order book, so prices drift apart by fractions of a percent, and by more during fast moves or on thinly traded markets. The comparison view lines venues up side by side and shows the live high-to-low spread in dollars and percent.
- Which exchange has the cheapest price for Bitcoin right now?
- It changes minute to minute, which is why the answer is a live board rather than a fixed list. The comparison screen ranks every venue carrying BTC from cheapest to most expensive and flags the best feed, so you check it at the moment you care instead of trusting yesterday's ranking.
- Can I set an alert on one specific exchange?
- Yes. Every price alert watches one exchange, the one you pick when you create it, so it only fires on prices from the venue where you trade. To watch the same coin on two exchanges, create the alert twice.
- Does CoinBeacon cover futures markets as well as spot?
- Yes. The feeds include the futures markets of Binance, Bybit, OKX, Kraken, KuCoin, Gate.io, Bitget, HTX and BingX, and the comparison screen filters between spot and futures so you compare like with like. Perpetual funding across 8 futures exchanges has its own board.
- Do I need an account or API keys on each exchange?
- No. CoinBeacon reads public market data, so there is nothing to connect and no trading permission to hand over; you never give it an exchange API key. You only need accounts on the venues you actually trade; comparing and alerting works without them.
- Is tracking a coin across exchanges free?
- Yes. The free plan covers the comparison screen and every alert type across email, Telegram, Discord and webhook, with 5 active alerts and 10 notifications a day. No credit card or exchange API keys are needed.
