  • They diverge on capability: CoinGecko covers Price Tracking, DeBank covers Portfolio Tracking.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

CoinGecko

  • The free Demo plan allows 10,000 call credits a month and 100 calls a minute
  • Rate limits are a paid feature separate from volume, at 300 calls a minute on Basic and 500 above it
  • Credits and rate limits move together by plan, so a burst pattern needs a higher tier than its monthly total implies
  • The 20% saving requires annual billing
  • Enterprise credits and limits are custom with no published figure

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
