DexAlert is a technical screener and strategy builder for crypto markets. It watches 100 coins across three timeframes, computes the indicators you already use, and tells you when the conditions you defined actually happen — so you are not the one staring at charts waiting for them. THE SCREENER Every coin, read on 1h and 4h — and on 30m with Platinum. RSI, MACD, EMA, Bollinger Bands, Stochastic RSI, VWAP, ADX and volume, refreshed continuously. Filter to what is bullish or bearish right now, or search a coin directly. Each coin opens into a full chart with the indicator panes beneath it, so you can see why it was marked the way it was rather than trusting a label. BUILD YOUR OWN STRATEGIES Say what has to be true to enter, and what ends it. - Any indicator, on any timeframe — including combining them, so an entry can require a 4h trend and a 1h trigger together - AND groups, or OR alternatives when either setup would do - Optional market filters: only when Bitcoin agrees, only in fear or greed, only when most of the market is moving your way - Exits on an indicator, a take-profit, a stop-loss, a trailing stop, or a time limit TEST IT ON REAL HISTORY Every strategy can be run over 24 months of real candles before you switch it on. You get the trade count, win rate, average per trade, total return, worst drawdown, and the last trades individually — plus a confidence range, because a result measured over a handful of trades is a far weaker claim than the same result over hundreds, and most tools let you believe otherwise. Strategy Finder searches for rule combinations that fit a coin's history, then re-tests them on a period it never saw. Anything that only held up in training is rejected, and told you why. It is built to disqualify overfitted results, not to produce impressive ones. Every plan can use it: 3 searches a month on Free, 30 on Pro, unlimited on Platinum. ALERTS THAT ARRIVE When a strategy triggers, you get a notification on your phone — with the price, the direction, and on exits the round trip. Or a Telegram direct message, or both. Both alert channels are on every plan, including free. How you watch your own strategies is not something to charge for. PLANS Free — the full screener and charts, two live strategies, 3 Finder searches a month, 3-month backtests, push and Telegram alerts. Pro — 15 strategies, 30 Finder searches a month, 24-month backtests. Platinum — 50 strategies, unlimited Finder searches, the 30m timeframe, priority alert delivery. Pro and Platinum are auto-renewing monthly subscriptions. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase, and renews unless turned off at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel in your Apple ID settings. One account works on the app and at dexalert.ai. DexAlert is an educational analysis tool. It shows what indicators and rules did on historical data. Simulated results are not a prediction, nothing in the app is a recommendation to buy or sell, and no result is a promise of future performance. Cryptocurrency markets carry substantial risk.

Verdict
GeckoTerminal and DexAlert both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of DexAlert's written reviews are positive against 58% of GeckoTerminal's. GeckoTerminal's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ratings volume (960 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
