Coinalyze and Swiftedge: futures data and the live order book
Coinalyze is a free crypto futures data site: open interest, funding, liquidations, long/short ratios and basis for hundreds of coins across many exchanges. Swiftedge looks at the order book instead: the live Bitcoin, gold, Ethereum, Solana, XRP, US 500, US 100, silver and WTI crude oil perpetual futures book as a heatmap, every trade, a footprint chart and Positioning, free with no account. Many traders use both.

The difference that matters
Leverage numbers or the book. Coinalyze shows how leverage builds across the market: open interest, funding and liquidations for hundreds of coins. Depth shows what is resting and trading right now in one market: the order book four times a second with every trade on top.
Coverage. Coinalyze covers far more coins and exchanges. Swiftedge covers fewer markets, in detail, with at least 24 hours of order book history.
Which one fits
- Coinalyze fits when you scan open interest, funding and liquidations across many coins, want alerts on those numbers, or want a free data API.
- Swiftedge fits when you want to watch the order book and trades live, read a footprint chart and see where leveraged positions would be liquidated by price, free and with no account.
