# CoinGlass alternatives for liquidation and funding data

Compare CoinGlass, Coinalyze, Velo, Laevitas, exchange APIs and Comparand for liquidation and funding data: history, prices and limits.

CoinGlass is the best fit if you need liquidation and funding data from many exchanges in one place. Its pricing page shows $29 to $699 a month (the yearly price divided by 12). The alternatives each cover part of that: Velo has Hyperliquid liquidation heatmaps, Laevitas adds options data and a free plan, Coinalyze calls itself free, and Hyperliquid's own API costs nothing but gives you raw records. Comparand's liquidation history is Hyperliquid only, and it also serves funding records for perps on other exchanges that publish them.

This guide is about data you can pull and study. It is not about trading advice, and past data is a record of past cases, not a forecast.

For Coinalyze, Velo and Laevitas head to head, see [Coinalyze vs Velo vs Laevitas](https://comparand.xyz/blog/coinalyze-velo-laevitas-compared).

## What should you decide before choosing a CoinGlass alternative?

Start with three questions.

- Which exchanges do you need? A tool that covers ten exchanges shallowly may be worse for you than one that covers one exchange well.
- How far back do you need to go? Some plans only keep a few months of history.
- Do you need the numbers in code, or only on a screen? A dashboard and an API are different products, even from the same company.

A **liquidation** is when an exchange closes a trade because the trader's money ran out. **Funding** is a small payment traders on one side of a **perp** (a futures contract that never expires) pay the other side. Both can be counted per coin and per hour, and both depend on which exchange you ask.

*Diagram: Illustration only, with no numbers: one coin on three exchanges (Binance, Bybit, Hyperliquid) as separate boxes, each with its own liquidation total and funding rate, so one exchange's total is never added to another's.*
## What does CoinGlass do better?

CoinGlass's API catalog lists many kinds of data in one place: futures and spot prices, open interest, funding, liquidation history, options and ETF data. Open interest is the total size of trades still open. Its pricing page names Binance and Coinbase among the venues it covers, and it has a separate catalog of supported exchanges and pairs.

If you want many exchanges in one place, that breadth is the main reason to stay with it. A tool that covers one exchange cannot give you that.

CoinGlass prices, as shown on its pricing page, are:

| Plan | Per month | Per year | Hourly history |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Hobbyist | $29 | $348 | Blank (not stated) |
| Startup | $79 | $948 | 180 days |
| Standard | $299 | $3,588 | 360 days |
| Professional | $699 | $8,388 | 720 days |

The monthly amounts equal the yearly totals divided by 12. We did not confirm a month-by-month price. Hobbyist and Startup are for personal use, and Standard and Professional allow commercial use. Endpoint permissions also apply, so a plan does not open every dataset.

## How do the alternatives compare?

This table uses only what each tool's own pages say.

| Tool | Liquidation or funding data | Exchanges named | Published price and history |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| CoinGlass | Funding, open interest, liquidation history | Binance, Coinbase and more | $29 to $699 a month; hourly history 180 to 720 days on paid tiers |
| Coinalyze | Not readable on the pages we opened | Not stated | Described as free; limits not stated |
| Velo | Open interest and funding indicators; Hyperliquid liquidation heatmaps | Binance, Bybit, Coinbase, Hyperliquid, Trade.xyz | API $199 a month with 3 months of history; yearly adds full history |
| Laevitas | Funding, open interest and liquidations for perps, plus options | Binance, Deribit, OKX, Bybit, Hyperliquid | Free plan has 1 week of history; Premium $50 a month per seat has 1 year |
| Hyperliquid's own API and archive | Candles, fills and funding records | Hyperliquid only | Free to call; archive downloads charge you for transfer |
| Comparand | Hyperliquid liquidation totals and largest minutes; funding for perps on exchanges that publish it | Hyperliquid only for liquidations | From $19 a month, or pay as you go |

## What do Coinalyze, Velo and Laevitas add?

**Coinalyze.** Its API documentation page describes it as a free crypto data API. The page we could read did not show rate limits, endpoints or how far back history goes. So we cannot say how it compares. Check its limits yourself before building on it.

**Velo.** The web app charts more than 3,400 symbols on exchanges that include Binance, Bybit, Coinbase and Hyperliquid, with open interest and funding indicators. It also has order-book heatmaps and Hyperliquid heatmaps for take-profit, stop-loss and liquidation levels. Its API returns data as CSV. The $199 monthly API plan includes only 3 months of history. Full history needs a yearly plan.

**Laevitas.** It covers options, perps (funding, open interest, liquidations), dated futures and historical order-book snapshots. It lists a free plan with one week of history, Premium at $50 a month per seat with one year of history, and Enterprise at $500 a month per seat with API historical data. Its documentation says an API key needs an enterprise subscription, and the rate limit is 240 requests per 60 seconds.

## Can you skip the vendors and use the exchange?

Sometimes. Hyperliquid's public API has a candle request that returns only the most recent 5,000 candles. Its archive bucket holds order-book snapshots and asset contexts, and a second node-data bucket holds fills and funding events. The archive bucket does not provide candles, may have missing data, and is updated about monthly with no promise on timing. You also pay the transfer cost.

That is free of subscription fees. The price is your own time to download, clean and check the files.

## Where does Comparand fit, and where does it not?

Be clear about the limit first: Comparand's liquidation history is Hyperliquid only. If you need liquidations on Binance or Bybit, Comparand cannot give them to you, and CoinGlass or another tool is the better choice.

For Hyperliquid, it has three liquidation tools. They count trades that Hyperliquid's trade feed marked as liquidations, so a missing flag would be missing from our totals. Records for April and May 2025 are missing or partial.

- hl_liquidations_top returns the largest liquidation minutes in a span of up to 548 days, for all coins or up to 20 you list, on the buy side, the sell side or both.
- hl_liquidations_series returns one coin's liquidation totals per hour or per day.
- hl_cascade_search lists liquidation cascades, which are many liquidations in a short time.

For funding, venue_funding returns funding settlements for one perp on venues that have them (venue_coverage lists which), up to 400 days per call, and it is free. hl_funding gives Hyperliquid funding rates for a window you pick.

## How reliable are liquidation numbers?

This is the question most buyers skip. A liquidation total can be the exchange's own record, or an estimate built from price and open interest. On the pages we read for CoinGlass, Velo, Laevitas and Coinalyze, we did not find which one they use. That does not mean the numbers are wrong. It means you should ask before you build a study on them.

Two checks help with any provider. First, pick one hour you know was busy and compare the total with the exchange's own page. Second, ask whether the totals are for one exchange or a mix.

## How we compared these tools

We read each tool's official pricing, documentation and product pages. We used only what those pages say, and we recorded prices as shown, not as quoted to a customer. Where a page did not load or did not give a fact, we say it is not stated. We did not test any tool's data for accuracy, and plans, taxes and promotions change.

## Try this in Comparand

With Comparand connected to your AI app, you can ask about Hyperliquid:

- "Show the largest liquidation minutes for all coins in September 2026." hl_liquidations_top returns the biggest single minutes, and you can pick buy or sell side.
- "Show hourly liquidation totals for one coin for a week." hl_liquidations_series returns totals per complete UTC hour or day.
- "Show funding payments for one perp on a venue for the last 90 days." venue_funding returns settlements for the span you choose, up to 400 days per call.

On a plan, these data tools are unlimited under fair-use request limits. Starter is $19 a month with 60 requests per minute. On pay as you go, hl_liquidations_series costs $0.005 a call and hl_liquidations_top costs $0.01 a call. venue_funding is free.

## The short version

- CoinGlass is the best fit for many exchanges at once, from $29 to $699 a month, with hourly history of 180 to 720 days on paid tiers.
- Velo, Laevitas and Coinalyze each cover part of the same ground, with different history limits and prices.
- Hyperliquid's own archive is free of fees but needs your own cleaning work.
- Comparand's liquidation history is Hyperliquid only; its free funding tool covers perps on exchanges that publish funding.
- On the pages we read, we did not find whether liquidation totals are exchange records or estimates, so ask before relying on them.

## Questions people ask

**What is a good CoinGlass alternative for liquidation data?**

It depends on the exchange. For Hyperliquid, Comparand serves liquidation totals and the largest liquidation minutes. Velo and Laevitas also list liquidation views or data. CoinGlass is broader across exchanges, so it may still fit better if you need more than Hyperliquid.

**Is there a free CoinGlass alternative?**

Coinalyze's API documentation calls the service a free data API, but we could not read its limits or history length. Laevitas has a free plan with one week of history. Comparand's six venue tools are free on every key, and one of them, venue_funding, returns funding records for perps on exchanges that publish them.

**Where can I get historical funding rates?**

Several places. Comparand's venue_funding tool returns funding for one perp over up to 400 days per call and is free. Hyperliquid funding is also available through hl_funding. Velo, Laevitas and CoinGlass list funding data too.

**Are liquidation numbers exact?**

Not always. On the pages we read for CoinGlass, Velo, Laevitas and Coinalyze, we did not find whether their liquidation totals are the exchange's own records or estimates. Ask each provider how its numbers are built before you rely on them.

**Does Comparand have Binance or Bybit liquidation data?**

No. Comparand's liquidation history is Hyperliquid only. For liquidations on Binance, Bybit or other exchanges, CoinGlass, Laevitas or another multi-exchange tool is the better fit.
