The difference that matters
What it is for. Market Open is the chart side of a trading front end, and trades through it carry Himbit's fee per fill. Swiftedge places no real orders and takes no fees: it is built to read the order book, and to practise with paper trading where a market order walks the live book level by level and a limit order waits in the queue.
History. Himbit keeps heatmap history for three coins and order flow history for eight since 14 October 2026. Depth opens with up to the last 15 days of the order book on every one of its nine markets (90 days with Swiftedge Plus).
Coverage. Himbit lists about 900 markets, US stocks included. Swiftedge covers nine perpetual markets, crypto plus gold, silver, WTI crude oil, the US 500 and the US 100, with every trade and the order book history on each.
Data for AI. Swiftedge has a free data API and an MCP server today; Himbit lists its API as coming soon.
