Should I Swap is a free cryptocurrency comparison tool that shows whether today's conversion rate between any two cryptos is above, below, or near the historical average. It supports 10,000+ cryptocurrencies and uses real-time CoinGecko data.
Select two cryptocurrencies, choose a historical period (7 to 365 days), and click Compare. The tool calculates the conversion rate between the two cryptos, compares it to the average over your chosen period, and shows whether the current rate is above average, below average, or near average.
Yes, Should I Swap is completely free. No account, registration, or payment required.
Above average means today's conversion rate is higher than the historical average over your selected period. For example, if 1 BTC currently gets you 18.5 ETH but the 30-day average is 17.2 ETH, the rate is above average — you get more ETH per BTC than usual.
Below average means today's conversion rate is lower than the historical average. You currently get less of the target cryptocurrency per unit of the source crypto than usual.
Near average means today's rate is within 2% of the historical average — there's no significant difference from normal over your selected time period.
You can compare over 7, 14, 30, 90, 180, or 365 days. Shorter periods show recent trends, while longer periods give you the bigger picture.
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.
The 52-week range shows the best and worst conversion rates between the two selected cryptocurrencies over the past year. This gives you context for where today's rate falls relative to the full range of historical rates.
Multi-period signals show the above/below/near average signal across all timeframes (7d, 14d, 30d, 90d, 180d, 365d) at once. This helps you see whether short-term and long-term trends agree or disagree.
Yes. Click the Swap button between the two cryptocurrency selectors to reverse the pair. For example, if you're viewing BTC→ETH (how many ETH per BTC), swapping shows ETH→BTC (how many BTC per ETH). The signal may be different in each direction.

We use the average-of-daily-ratios method. For each day in the selected period, we calculate the pair rate (price of Coin A ÷ price of Coin B), then average those daily rates. This avoids mathematical bias that can occur with other averaging methods.
Prices update every 1-2 minutes from CoinGecko. Historical data refreshes every 30 minutes. You're always seeing near-real-time market data.
Yes — any token listed on CoinGecko is supported. That includes DeFi tokens, meme coins, wrapped tokens, and stablecoins. Over 10,000 cryptocurrencies are available.
Our data comes directly from CoinGecko, one of the most established crypto data providers. We perform mathematical comparisons — nothing more. We never execute trades, hold funds, or give financial advice. The code is open source for full transparency.
It shows where today's pair rate falls within the full range of rates over the past year. If you're at the 30th percentile, the rate was lower only 30% of the time — meaning it's been higher 70% of the year.
Markets have different trends at different time scales. The 7-day signal might show "above average" during a short rally, while the 365-day signal shows "below average" because the rate is still low compared to last year. The multi-period view helps you see this divergence.
