The difference that matters
Levels on the book. HexaTape analyses positions on their own. Swiftedge draws the liquidation levels on the same chart as the resting orders and the trades, so you can see whether liquidity is waiting where positions would be closed. Liquidation heatmap vs order book heatmap.
What is free. HexaTape's free tier is six tools and the Bitcoin liquidation map. In Swiftedge the order book heatmap, the footprint, the liquidation heatmap and Positioning are free for all nine markets.
Depth of position analytics. HexaTape goes further into positions: profit and loss, leverage, entry costs and crowd sentiment across 22 tools. Swiftedge has fewer position tools and puts them next to the order book.
Markets. HexaTape is crypto. Swiftedge adds gold, silver, WTI crude oil, the US 500 and the US 100.
Which one fits
- HexaTape fits when you want deep analytics on leveraged positions and liquidations and are ready to pay from $29 a month.
- Swiftedge fits when you want liquidation levels together with the live order book, every trade and a footprint chart, free, and whale and liquidation pings for $9 a month.
