Markov vs CoinGlass

What CoinGlass is

CoinGlass reports funding rates, open interest, liquidations, long/short ratios and spot Bitcoin ETF flows across many exchanges and coins, sells an API, and offers CoinGlass Prime: full access to its Liquidation Heatmap models (Model 1, 2 and 3) with automatic refresh.

What CoinGlass does well

Many exchanges and coins aggregated in one place, with market-wide totals.
A projected liquidation heatmap with three models, if projected levels are what you want.
A paid API with 80 to 160+ endpoints depending on the plan, and a mobile app.

Where Markov differs

Liquidations are realized only: every mark printed on Binance, Bybit or OKX, with its venue. Markov doesn't draw projected levels.
One chart puts resting order-book liquidity, whale prints, liquidations and open interest on the same time axis, with this hour's funding beside them. The funding pane is on Pro.
Every number names its source and says whether it is measured or modeled.
It is narrower, with 8 coins, and funding and open interest from Hyperliquid on the chart rather than a cross-exchange aggregate.

Measured or modeled, topic by topic.

Which to use

Choose CoinGlass for breadth across exchanges and coins, for its projected liquidation models, or for an API.

Many traders use more than one tool. Markov provides research tools and education, not financial advice.

Questions.

Is Markov a free CoinGlass alternative?

For BTC, ETH and SOL, the live chart is free with no account. It covers fewer coins and venues than CoinGlass and has no projected liquidation heatmap, so it is an alternative for reading live structure, not a replacement for CoinGlass's breadth.

Does Markov have a liquidation heatmap like CoinGlass?

Markov's liquidation map shows realized liquidations by price and time. CoinGlass's Liquidation Heatmap estimates where liquidations could happen. They answer different questions.
