Why livecryptorank.com
I built a CoinGecko competitor as a solo founder — here's what I've learned so far
Six months ago I started building LiveCryptoRank (livecryptorank.com) to compete with CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap.
Here's where I'm at:
What I built:
Real-time prices for 100+ coins with trading signals/radar
Portfolio tracker with P&L analytics
Price alerts, watchlist, and a full SEO blog
Freemium model: free tier + Pro ($9.99) + Premium ($29.99/month)
Traction so far:
~335 visitors/month (up from 90 two months ago)
37 active users in the last 7 days (428% increase)
Listed on Product Hunt, Capterra, SaaSHub, GitHub
Biggest challenge: Domain authority. I'm at DR 0 competing against DR 80+ sites. Every backlink matters right now.
If you track crypto, I'd genuinely love your feedback. What would make you switch from CoinGecko?
