About Should I Swap?

Should I Swap is a free cryptocurrency comparison tool that answers a simple question: Is today's conversion rate between two cryptos better or worse than usual?

Select any two of 10,000+ cryptocurrencies, choose a historical period, and instantly see whether the current rate is above, below, or near the average. No account required, no fees, no trades executed.

How It Works

Pick two cryptocurrencies — for example, Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Choose a time period — 7, 14, 30, 90, 180, or 365 days.
Click Compare — the tool calculates how many units of the second crypto you get per unit of the first, right now.
See the signal — the current rate is compared to the average over your chosen period. You'll see whether it's above average, below average, or near average.

Understanding the Signals

Above Average Today's conversion rate is higher than the historical average. You currently get more of the target cryptocurrency per unit of the source than usual. For example, if 1 BTC normally gets you 17 ETH but today gets you 18.5 ETH, the rate is above average.

Below Average Today's conversion rate is lower than the historical average. You currently get less of the target cryptocurrency than usual.

Near Average Today's rate is within 2% of the historical average. There's no significant difference from the norm over your selected period.

Additional Features

52-week range — see the best and worst conversion rates over the past year, so you know where today's rate falls in the bigger picture.
Multi-period signals — view signals across all timeframes (7d to 365d) at once to spot whether short-term and long-term trends agree.
Interactive charts — explore price history with daily, hourly, and 5-minute intervals.
Swap direction — instantly reverse the pair to see the opposite perspective (e.g., BTC→ETH vs ETH→BTC).

Where the Data Comes From

All market data is provided by CoinGecko, one of the largest cryptocurrency data aggregators. Prices are fetched in real-time from CoinGecko's API on our servers — your browser never communicates directly with CoinGecko.

Who It's For

Should I Swap is for anyone who wants a quick, data-driven check before swapping one cryptocurrency for another. Whether you're a casual holder curious about timing or an active trader looking for a second opinion, the tool gives you historical context in seconds.

What This Tool Is Not

Should I Swap is not a trading platform, exchange, or financial advisor. It does not execute trades, hold funds, or have access to your accounts. The signals are based solely on mathematical comparisons of historical prices — they are not predictions or recommendations.

Cryptocurrency markets are highly volatile. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Always do your own research (DYOR) before making any trading decisions.

Who Built This?

Should I Swap was built by an independent developer who wanted a simple, data-driven way to evaluate crypto pair rates. No VC funding, no corporate agenda — just a useful tool built for people who DYOR.

The project is open source and community-driven. Every signal is based on transparent, reproducible math — nothing proprietary, nothing hidden.
