We compared eight DEX Screener alternatives on features, fees and supported chains, and noted where each one falls short of DEX Screener.
No project pays to be listed. How we rank
GeckoTerminal is the closest free DEX Screener alternative: on September 26, 2026 it listed 224 chains and 1,986 DEXes. Below are eight DEX Screener alternatives and competitors, from charting sites and screeners to trading terminals, compared on chain coverage, API limits, token requirements and trading fees.
DEX Screener is a free analytics site with real-time charts and screeners for tokens on decentralized exchanges. It reads chain data with its own indexer, has iOS and Android apps and a free API limited to 60 requests per minute on profile endpoints. It has no token. See the full DEX Screener profile →
Paid Boosts raise a token's trending score on DEX Screener, so trending lists mix organic activity with paid placement. Boosts are also non-refundable.
DEX Screener lists pairs without human review, so scam tokens can appear. A holder map or a tool with a per-pool security score adds a second check before you buy.
The free API allows 60 requests per minute on token profile endpoints, and you cannot trade from the chart. Developers may want a larger paid API, and active traders a terminal that charts and executes in one place.
| Name | Best for |
|---|---|
| DEX Screener ORIGINAL | Baseline |
| GeckoTerminal | Free charts, most chains |
| DEXTools | Charting on 139 chains |
| Birdeye | Paid API, 17 networks |
| CoinMarketCap DexScan | DEX and CEX data together |
| Bubblemaps | Checking token holders |
| Defined | Charts plus trading |
| GMGN | Meme trading and copy |
| Axiom | Solana trading |
A DEX tracker from Gecko Labs, the owner of CoinGecko, with live pool prices, charts and a security score next to each pool. Limitation: its free API allows 10 calls per minute, against DEX Screener's 60 on profile endpoints.
A charting and analytics app with token audit scores, covering 139 blockchains. Limitation: paid plans are tied to the DEXT token: Standard is 1,000 DEXT held or $19.90 a month paid in DEXT, and Premium needs 100,000 DEXT.
On-chain token charts, a screener and wallet data, with a Data API covering 17 networks including Solana, Sui and Aptos. Limitation: the free Standard API tier is limited to 1 request per second and 30,000 compute units.
CoinMarketCap's DEX screener with trending, new, gainers and top trader views, next to CoinMarketCap's centralized exchange data. Limitation: it lists any token with a DEX pool, including unvetted meme tokens, and has no trading.
Not a price chart: it draws token holders as bubbles and links wallets that trade with each other, which helps spot insider supply. DEX Screener embeds its iFrame. Limitation: its Data API needs a paid Pro subscription.
A charting platform and trading terminal from the Codex team, with Hyperliquid perps and prediction markets. Its docs say it has no paid trending placements. Limitation: a $0.50 minimum fee per order, and Relay routing fees on top.
A trading terminal and Telegram bots for meme tokens on Solana, Ethereum, Base and BSC, with copy trading, limit orders and wallet tracking. Limitation: a flat 1% fee on every trade, plus gas and priority fees.
A web trading terminal for Solana tokens with wallet tracking and Hyperliquid perpetuals, using Turnkey for non-custodial keys. Limitation: spot trading is Solana only, and the net fee is 0.95% at the base tier.
For free charts on more chains: GeckoTerminal. For a paid data API: Birdeye. To trade from the chart at a lower fee: Defined (0.5% spot).
If you only want free charts and a screener without paid Boosts shaping the trending list, GeckoTerminal is the closest swap and covers the most chains. DEXTools covers 139 chains too, but its paid plans require the DEXT token. For a bigger data API, Birdeye has paid tiers from $39 a month.
If you also want to trade from the chart, the terminals charge per trade: Defined 0.5% on spot, Axiom 0.95% at the base tier on Solana, GMGN 1% flat. Whatever you use, check a new token's holders on Bubblemaps before buying, because none of these screeners vets listings.

For free charts, GeckoTerminal: it listed 224 chains and 1,986 DEXes on September 26, 2026, with a security score per pool. For trading from the chart, Defined at 0.5% spot.
DEXTools covers 139 chains and shows token audit scores, but its paid plans require DEXT: $19.90 a month in DEXT or 1,000 DEXT held. DEX Screener is free and has mobile apps.
Partly. Paid Boosts raise a token's trending score, and tokens flagged by DEX Screener's audit partners cannot be boosted. Defined says it has no paid trending placements.
No, it is an analytics site. Terminals like Defined (0.5% spot fee), Axiom (0.95% base on Solana) and GMGN (1% flat) let you trade from the chart.
None of the listed ones beats it on the free tier: DEX Screener allows 60 requests per minute on profile endpoints, GeckoTerminal 10 calls per minute, Birdeye 1 request per second.
