The short version

  • Each has a real cost: CoinMarketCap the free Basic plan gives historical data going back only 60 seconds, so it cannot answer any question about the past; SushiSwap sushiSwap routes a portion of every trading fee to SUSHI stakers rather than to liquidity providers alone; users who stake SUSHI receive xSUSHI, which entitles them to a share of protocol fees, per the vendor's own documentation.
  • They diverge on capability: CoinMarketCap covers Price Tracking, SushiSwap covers Token Swaps.
