The short version
- Each has a real cost: Rainbow free instant deposits and fee auto-compounding are gated behind the paid Rainbow Black tier; the vendor's own site states "Upgrade to Rainbow Black for free instant deposits, bigger rewards, and up to 100% of your trading fees auto-compounded", implying standard accounts pay deposit and trading fees; 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: Rainbow covers Ethereum Wallet, DeBank covers Portfolio Tracking.
