The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Argent renamed Ready, and argent.xyz now redirects to ready.co, so the Argent name is retired; DeBank developer API access is metered on a units-based quota system rather than flat unlimited access; each API key has a units balance drawn down per call, tracked via /v1/account/units with 30 days of daily usage history
  • They diverge on capability: Argent covers Smart Contract Wallet, DeBank covers Portfolio Tracking.
