CoinMarketCap alternative for on-chain Bitcoin data

CoinMarketCap is the reference point most people reach for on crypto market data: listings, prices, volumes, market caps and OHLCV across thousands of assets, with a well documented API. Its published plans run from a free Basic tier (about 15,000 call credits a month, 50 requests per minute, roughly the latest minute of data) up through Builder at $29 a month, Startup at $79, Growth at $299 and Professional at $699, with historical coverage widening as you move up and WebSocket support from the Startup tier. For price and listing data, it is a solid choice.

Teams start looking at CoinMarketCap alternatives when the question stops being what is Bitcoin worth and becomes what actually happened on the Bitcoin chain. A market data API does not return an address balance, the inputs and outputs of a transaction, a UTXO set, an entity label or an exchange flow, because it was never meant to. BitcoinDatabase is that layer: every block since 2009 indexed and queryable over a REST API, SQL and dashboards. In practice the two sit side by side, and because we also hold historical market data you can join a daily close to that day on-chain activity in a single query. Usage-based paid plans, no free tier, and informational on-chain data only, not investment advice.
