Why Quantify Crypto Is Fastest When the Markets Are Moving

When the market is ripping higher or flushing lower, a few seconds can make the difference between catching a move and chasing it. That’s exactly where Quantify Crypto’s Coin Screener and Market Data pages stand out.

The Side by Side Screen Test with CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko

Users who compare us side by side with CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko see the same thing:

• Quantify Crypto updates like a live trading terminal

• CoinMarketCap often lags during sharp moves

• CoinGecko behaves more like a delayed snapshot than a live feed (manual refreshes are required)

The reason is simple: Quantify Crypto is built as a trading-first data engine, not just a reference site. We pull prices directly from multiple exchanges and push updates into the Screener as fast as our pipelines receive and process them. There’s no heavy caching or long aggregation delay between you and the latest tick. 

By contrast, big aggregators are optimized for global reference prices, not low-latency trading views. They apply smoothing, caching, and update intervals that can introduce noticeable delay—especially in volatile markets.

Try the Side-by-Side Test Yourself

Don’t take our word for it. Here’s a simple test you can run in a few minutes, especially when the market is clearly trending higher or lower. 

1. Open two windows:

• One with https://quantifycrypto.com/coin-screener
• The other with https://coinmarketcap.com/

2. Wait for a real move: Watch during a breakout, breakdown, or strong intraday trend—when prices are actually moving.

3. Compare reactions: If the markets are heading higher, see which feed to showing new higher prices and which one is lagging behind.

4. Repeat this test with Coin Gecko or any other data aggregator.

Traders prefer Quantify Crypto because our prices track much closer to the exchanges—within a small fraction of a second—while CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko typically trail behind during fast markets.
