Our Opinion
Coinglass occupies a clear niche. Where the large aggregators cover prices and market capitalisation, this is about what happens in the derivatives market. Liquidation heatmaps, funding rates, open interest and long-short ratios are consolidated across numerous exchanges — data that would otherwise have to be assembled venue by venue.
For most retail users the free tier is already workable: the central dashboards and heatmaps are viewable without an account, with historical depth the main limitation. Costs start with API access, tiered from 29 to 699 US dollars a month plus an enterprise tier on request.
Two points matter for usage. Commercial use of the data is only permitted from the third API tier — anyone embedding the data in their own product cannot use the cheaper plans. And the data describes market activity rather than forecasting it: liquidation heatmaps show where positions cluster, not where prices will go.
Pros & Cons
- Liquidation heatmaps and funding rates aggregated across many exchanges
- Core features usable without an account

- iOS and Android apps with liquidation and price alerts
- Clear presentation even for newcomers
- Commercial data use only permitted from the third API tier
- Limited historical depth on the free tier
- Billing in US dollars
- Data describes market activity, it does not forecast it
