This is a list of free or freemium tools and apps that are useful for cryptocurrency traders or hodlers.
None of these tools were backed by an ICO, which has been the original condition for getting a tool listed on here. Some of them are open source, some commercial, but all of them have at least a trial account option.

CoinMarketMan - Free on condition
CoinMarketMan is a crypto portfolio tracker for daytraders. It has an auto-journaling functionality for active traders, which saves a lot of time compared to a trading journal in Excel.
How to use CoinMarketMan as Crypto Trading Journal Software
CoinMarketMan pulls data from your trading platform via read-only API.
The app supports all the big crypto derivatives platforms (FTX, Deribit, ByBit, BitMEX) and then spot markets from Binance and Coinbase PRO.
How to set up the automated trade tracking:
- Generate API keys on your exchange. Don’t forget to set the API to read-only!
- Copy-paste your API keys into your CoinMarketMan account.
- Start the import of all your trading data with one click.
That’s all.
The trading journal app will read your open positions (including stop-losses) as well as your trade history and work out the PnL for you.
You can annotate your positions both with random text notes and structured tags. The tags can be used to build reports with statistics - such as how much you trade on emotion vs with confidence in your trading setup.
For tax reporting, just export the log in CSV. You get all your profits in losses from all exchanges in a single file.
How to get CoinMarketMan Enterprise for FREE (worth 49.99 USD/mth)
The fully automated trading journal is a paid feature and CoinMarketMan is not cheap.
But there is an easy way to get the top tier plan for free: Sign up at an exchange through CoinMarketMan’s shill links.
You have Deribit, Bybit or FTX to choose from. Once your API keys are in CoinMarketMan, your plan updates automatically to Enterprise and stays there forever.
There is no other requirement tied to the offer, such as minimum traded volume or the like. Just sign up and you’re done.

It is continually improved and the design of the UI is much nicer than you’d expect in crypto.
-
Delta (Blockfolio alternative for crypto and legacy traders)
Delta is quite a popular app, even though less so in the crypto community. It is powered by eToro, so you won’t quite get the privacy features you might be used to from crypto space.

-

Coinstats looks quite like CoinMarketCap except it also reads your exchange’s API and tracks your portfolio balance. Coinstats report profit and loss as well, great for active traders.

-
Blockfolio (Hacked 2021)
The most popular app for portfolio tracking, which was hacked in February 2021. Blockfolio does not hold cryptocurrency, but the hack still exposed its users’ data to spammers and phishers.
Crypto Charting Apps
-
CryptoWatch - Freemium
CryptoWatch is the most popular free crypto charting software.
The charts are available in a desktop app or through the website, no need to sign up for an account.
There is no pine script library of user-created tools, but if you are just looking for a selection of pre-made (good) technical indicators, cryptowatch is a fair option.
We’ve got a review of the 2021 CryptoWatch in the blog here.
Cryptowatch gets regular upgrades and maintenance as is a very solid charting tool. Some of the newly added features include:
- Trollbox at the side of the chart
- Correlation matrix to analyse altcoin arbitrage opportunities
- Trading directly from the chart via exchange API
- (Paid) price alerts
- (Paid) API and Google sheets price data on cryptos and derivatives
CryptoWatch was acquired by Kraken Exchange in 2017. Since then you can access Kraken directly from there, but it’s not pushed at you too much.
-
TradingView - Freemium
TradingView is the most popular paid crypto charting platform. (It’s actually freemium - you can stay on free plan forever.)
Tradingview is a charting platform and also a trading community. Thanks to the community contributions, it has accummulated massive amounts of technical analysis tools that are available for free in the public library. They are written in pine script and are fully customizable - the charting platform is super noob friendly too, though.
We review some of the best TradingView scripts that you can use with FREE account here. On the picture above a shining example - volume profile fix range (daily) available for free on TradingView. (Here’s how to find it.)
Even though you can always use TradingView for free, the paid TradingView PRO plan will let you use more scripts in a single chart. The upgrade is not ultra cheap, but it gets the invariable 60% discount during Black Friday week every year.
Sign up now for a free account and upgrade on the next Black Friday.
-
ExoCharts - Paid (Free trial)
Exocharts is a crypto charting app catering primarily to volume traders on crypto derivative markets. Exocharts support derivative markets on BitMEX, Binance, ByBit, OKEx and FTX.
It is a paid tool that costs 28 EUR per month, but you will be able to get one live chart in a free trial to see if you like the tool.
Exocharts will give you a daily fixed volume profile chart as the default view. You won’t get any candles by default, and in free trial you won’t be able to switch to short time-frames for more granular data or candles anyway.
-
Coinigy - Freemium
Cryptowatch is now a full Coinigy alternative. The web version now lets you trade directly from the chart on any exchange. Since 2020 Cryptowatch even has a correlation matrix for alt coins.
Coinigy is a cloud-based crypto trading and charting tool packed with features for altcoin scalpers, arbers and trading bot developers.
Coinigy is also great for the true altcoin traders who want to be the market makers in new markets, who want to leverage arb opportunities and want to be able to trade a market as soon as it opens.
It is not only a charting engine but also an API interface you can use to trade from an exchange account without using the exchange's web interface. UI and charting is usually terrible at small exchanges, at the same time those are the ones that you need to use when you arb.
Coinigy doesn't charge any additional fee for executing trades via the platform.

Crypto Volume Trackers
If you are looking for volume indicators instead, here’s Glossary on VPVR and where to get it for free.
-
Alerts: CoinAlert
CoinAlert is a freemium tool that sends out Telegram or email alerts for volume change over a threshold on your selected market.
Unless you want a global alert on any volume-gaining shitcoin, this is the handiest volume alert out there.
-
Alerts: Trade The Chain PAID
Trade The Chain is a paid tool that tracks sentiment, social media buzz and listings across the alt coin markets. It gives you global alerts, which is great for opportunistic alt traders as you don’t need to pick your watched markets first.
Trade The Chain of course tracks the more standard market metrics like traded volume, which is why it is here in this section.
-
Alerts: CryptoWatch Volume Alerts
Cryptowatch alerting lets you set up alerts based on volume or volume change, too.
You already need to know which market to track though, and on which exchange. Cryptowatch won’t give you alerts on volume gainers.
(Unless you’re already using Cryptowatch, this is not a very convenient tool.)
-
By exchange: FTX Global volume monitor
FTX provides a live table that you can download as CSV. It tracks global traded volume of top exchanges.
The data collection is done by Alameda Research, bitfinex provides a whitepaper explaining the methodology. Only platforms with over $10M Adjusted Volume are shown.
In the FTX volume tracker, Adjusted Volume is the reported volume minus markets with fake volume. Most often, fake volume happens on zero fee or token rebate markets. But FTX volume monitor also excludes markets that print transactions that never appeared on the order books - usually by copying real transaction activity from some other exchange with a small time delay.
The traded volume is reported live, along with open interest and the estimated share of fake volume.
-
Volume gainers: CryptoVolHunter
CryptoVolHunter is a free tool that scans new alt coin markets and alerts you on traded volume change.
Volume change to filter out the top changes are 1h, 24h and 7d. The tool also listens for newly open markets on Binance and Bittrex.
-
Most alts: CoinMarketCap Adjusted Volume
The OG crypto traded volume tracker is and has always been CoinMarketCap. This is the tool that gives you data on most alt coins that exist.
Over the years, there have been some questions about their methods: Do they count fake volume? Is there data tweaked in someone’s favour?
CoinMarketCap, now owned by the behemoth Binance, took to providing systematic volume reporting to make it less biased.
For volume per crypto asset, the traded volume includes all traded volume reported by all exchanges on all pairs of that crypto. Pairs are excluded from the total volume have a double asterist (**). This is done for markets without trading fee where it is easy to fake volume.
For volume per exchange, CMC gives the Reported Volume, directly from the exchange API, and Adjusted Volume, which excludes markets with no fee and transaction mining.
-
History: Bitcoinity
For traded volume on BTC, the best data is on the Bitcoinity volume chart. It’s easy to read, doesn’t kill your RAM, doesn’t require login.
The volume on the chart is split between the biggest exchanges for each day, all small exchanges are put together as “Others”.
Historic data is available, starting from 2010.

Market Screener
Market screeners are full-stack tools for market analysis. Screeners report not only the price action of an asset, but also its news coverage and sometimes even public (but hard to find) information like insider trades that have to be filled with the SEC.
In crypto we are used to single-purpose niche tools but as legacy traders adopt crypto, the more resourceful legacy market screening tools do so as well.
-
FinViz Crypto Screener - Code
313883367
FinViz is the most complete free market screener for stock, forex and crypto. Crypto is the latest addition to this 10+ year old trading tool, and crypto market screening is a bit subpar there, sadly.
You won’t get as many features for crypto as you get for stocks on FinViz, such as the feed of institutional and insider transactions pulled directly from SEC forms. If you also trade legacy though, FinViz is hands down to richest free market data resource.
It pulls granular data from SEC fillings, it gives you all the news for each stock ticker, and it has basic TA alerts pre-programmed on the public website. These are really simple things like oversold/overbought, but they will still save you time.
FinViz Crypto is only good to get you a quick overview of the 15 top crypto markets and their relative performance of their USD markets. Once again, if you also trade forex and stocks, it’s gonna get you much more use though.
-
TradingView Crypto Market Screener
TradingView provides a triplet of basic market screeners - stock screener, forex screener and crypto screener. These are all available in the free tier.
The information you get is much poorer than with FinViz screener above though. There is the basic chart, with an option to switch to the full-featured technical chart, then there are news but from a handful of sources only, and there is no insider trading or other hard to dig out data. The rest of the space in the screener chart are just community ideas.
Market Timing Tools
-
CCI30® is a market-cap weighted basket of top 30 cryptocurrencies. The index started tracking the top 30 coins in 2017, having added some past data. The oldest available data is from 1 Jan 2015.
The index excludes stablecoins, constituents are reviewed and adjusted automatically every first calendar day of each quarter.
Daily CSV data are available for free, realtime API for a fee.
-
Crypto20 was the first ever crypto basket index that got tokenized. These days the Crypto20 exists as one of many index products by a Cayman Islands company called INVICTUS.
Crypto20 (C20 in its tokenized form) is a market-cap weighted basket of top 20 cryptos. The C20 fund rebalances from current market cap values on a weekly basis and caps each asset at 10%.
For market timing and other analytical purposes, its main advantage over CCI30 is that being tokenized, it can be directly traded on HitBTC, Uniswap and other Ethereum DEXes. That makes its real-time data readily available for free.
Its disadvantage is that it caps each constituent at 10%, which is out of tune with the distribution of the value on crypto markets.
-
Crypto Coin Comparison Aggregated Index (CCCAGG)
CryptoCompare created a price-weighted index of cryptocurrencies and made the data available from their API. Access to the API data is freemium - free accounts get capped at 250.000 lifetime request count.
The CCCAGG index uses volume-weighted methodology and was created for the purpose to show the best price estimation for crypto traders.
The index in its current version returns volume-weighted average price for a single coin of your choice, calculated from its markets on more than 250 exchanges.
CCCAGG is a great tool to get a price-weighted basket index of cryptocurrencies, which is really just an average price of the top X most expensive cryptos.
Staking Tools
We have a full 2021 guide into staking and what are your free and paid staking wallet options right now. Read here
-
Exodus wallet for desktop - FREE
The Exodus crypto wallet supports staking directly from the wallet for Algorand, Cosmos, Cardano, Ontology, NEO, Tezos, and VeChain. Your coins are locked up for a pre-defined time period. The staking app provides information on how the reward is delivered and wtherther you need to claim it.

-

-
AllNodes Staking Pools and Hosting - Revenue Percentage or Monthly Fee
AllNodes is the largest staking provider on the market. It is both a masternode and staking service, primarily catering towards larger holders. However, there are staking pools that have very low limits of holdings necessary to participate.
Allnodes integrate seamlessly with Ledger and Trezor hardware wallets. Whether you want to stake in a pool, run a validator or host a masternode, with AllNodes you can be up and running within minutes.
Staking pools usually take a cut of your yield. Masternode and validator setup incurs hosting costs per month.
Lending, Savings account, Yields
In this section we are only reviewing lending on crypto exchanges, which at least does not give you the false sense of safety as crypto savings accounts do. You can still get good rates.
-
CryptoStudio Lending and DCA Earnings Calculator
CryptoStudio is an independent comparison hub that provides detailed earnings calculators for cryptocurrency holders who want to DCA or lend.
The calculators are very easy to use. You start with an initial investment amount and a timeframe, a DCA amount if any and (in case of lending) an expected annual interest rate.
The calculator suggests typical values for all of these, as well as for the expected price of your crypto at the end of your investment timeframe. That means you can still use it even if you just want to get an idea.
The result tells you how much you would earn on price appreciation of your initial investment alone versus with DCA and with compound interest payments.
-
Bitfinex offers to all users, verified or no-KYC, the choice between two lending interfaces to manage their lending wallets.
The classic lending interface lets provide your money for margin funding by requesting a specific rate and time duration. (You can indeed also take funding there, and by that lock in a low rate while it’s cheap before you enter a margin trade.)
The new Lending PRO takes some of the manual work away. It will split the content of your lending wallet into chunks and offer them at best rate possible, but never at a rate lower than a minimum you set.
In the dynamic mode, lending PRO will even periodically take down your unmatched orders and adjust their rate down to improve the chances that they will get matched.
Overall the rates for USD are high in a stable manner (around 10% APY), for crypto the yields are lower and volatility higher. That volatility can get you a very nice income in situations where the market is overleveraged and everyone is opening new margin positions.
Speaking of overleveraged environments, of the main benefits of lending in closed environment like exchanges with low leverage is the super low risk of you not getting paid your interest. In low leverage markets where the money never leaves the platform, the risk of default is lower than on obscure platforms like BlockFi. These also lend out your money to traders (albeit institutional) but the conditions and policies are unknown as that trading happens on different platforms.
-
FTX is still much lesser known exchange, and one of the very few places where you can trade tokenized GME and other stocks. Lending of these tokens is available too, and as the market is small, the rates can shoot up quite a lot.
You will see though that even relatively big currencies like ETH and BNB can get pretty high rates.
How to lend your crypto on FTX.com:
- After you sign up, you will need to go into your account settings and enable margin trading.
- With margin enabled, move on to the mergin lending page here
- Filter out the highest rates by clicking at the column name: “Estimated next funding rate”
- Select your crypto and click LEND

Obviously useful mostly for highly active traders, most of all scalpers and day traders.
TensorCharts are not free. There is a basic free plan that gives you the coloured candles, orderbook visualisation and basic data refresh (not fully realtime but good enough). You will not be able to view the full volume profile and access most functionalities that are data-intensive and therefore costly.
If you are not sure you are willing to pay for this stuff, you can piece together a poor man’s tensorcharts alternative on TradingView.
- Make a chart at TradingView FREE
- Go to Indicators and script and search for “Poor man’s volume profile”, a free VPVR alternative. Apply it.
- Next look up “[ST] Volume Flow v6” by spacetrader, which colors your candles based on changes in volume. It colours full candles as a whole, the data is less granular than footprint candles. But it’s free.
