With BitAlert, you can stop viewing price changes in cryptos non-stop throughout the day, and let us notify you when a significant price move occurs. For instance, if the price of Bitcoin is trading at $50,000, you can set a custom price movement alert at 20%. This means that you'll receive a notification from us when Bitcoin moves to either $40,000 or $60,000. We'll also re-adjust your notification basis, so you'll continue to get notified for further 20% price movements. You can choose whatever percentage price movements you'd like, from 1 to 100%. You can also trust BitAlert to provide real-time updates on price movements for Bitcoin and Ethereum. Privacy Policy: https://cuff.live/policy Terms & Conditions: https://cuff.live/terms

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Persimmon Alerts at 100% against BitAlert's 33%. Persimmon Alerts also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.8) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 12 months). BitAlert's advantage is ratings volume (19 vs 2) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
