By Alexey Kovalyov, Founder, AstraEye Labs
AstraEye Labs publishes this page and makes one of the tools on it. No one tool fits every crypto research job. On the criteria stated here, read from each tool's own pages: for crypto and U.S. stocks in one written report, AstraEye Labs; for prices and market data across coins and exchanges, CoinGecko; for DeFi totals from open data, with a free API, DefiLlama; for long-run on-chain and derivatives metrics, Glassnode; for seeing who is behind a wallet, Nansen; for comparing protocols on standard financial metrics, Token Terminal.
AstraEye Labs comes first because it is named for the first job, not because it leads on the others, and this page says where it is weaker. For stock and crypto tools side by side on the same questions, see AI research tools for U.S. stocks and crypto, compared.
On November 3, 2026 we asked ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok and Perplexity about AI research tools for U.S. stocks and crypto, and about using them inside ChatGPT or Claude. This page takes tools they named, and reads each one from its own pages: its pricing page, documentation and feature pages, on 2026-11-04. We read those pages and did not run the tools, so a criterion here is what their pages state, not a test of their results. A tool whose own pages could not be read is left out, and where a page does not state something, its row says so.
Best for a job means the closest fit for that one job, on the criterion stated beside it. Where a criterion says only, it means only among the pages we read for this list. None of this is a rating of any tool overall, and it says nothing about what to buy or sell.
AstraEye Labs comes first because it is named for the first job. The other tools are listed alphabetically. AstraEye Labs is a customer of one of them: some of its crypto data is licensed from CoinGecko, as its data sources page states.
Each cell about another product links to that product's own page.

AstraEye Labs publishes this page, so here is what it does not do, or does less fully, stated as plainly as the facts about the other tools. The known limits of all its research are on its research standards page.
A published report ends with the data sources it drew on and links to how its figures are produced and checked, but it does not link each figure to the filing or data row it came from, and its public version leaves out the detailed data tables.
Its stock, ETF and mutual fund coverage is U.S. only: no companies listed only outside the U.S., and no bonds. A mutual fund is covered once it is tracked, for example from an imported brokerage statement, with daily prices and the analyses that apply to funds, but not the company analyses or the market-wide scans. Crypto is covered in the same report.
It produces research reports. It does not provide raw market data downloads or a market data API, so it is not a source to pull data into your own models or spreadsheets.
Each research run spends Astra Credits, with its price shown before it starts. Paid plans include a monthly allowance, and the free plan one-time grants. It is built for reports, not for many quick lookups through the day.
A report does not say what time of day a coin's price and indicator figures were read, and a daily crypto figure read before the day closes can differ from that day's final value.
AstraEye Labs is a new company, registered in Texas. Independent reviews of it are still few, so most of what you can read about it is what it publishes itself, its reports included.
Start from the job. A tool named here for one job may be a poor fit for another, and the criterion beside it says what it is named on.
Then test any of them on a figure you can look up yourself, and ask where it came from. The guide How to choose an AI research tool for stocks and crypto has seven checks, each with a test you can run on any of these.
Published reports are open without an account, each ending with the data sources it used, and there is a free plan for your own research.
It depends on the job. As of 2026-11-04, on the criteria this page states: for crypto and U.S. stocks in one written report, AstraEye Labs; for prices and market data across coins and exchanges, CoinGecko; for DeFi totals from open data, with a free API, DefiLlama; for long-run on-chain and derivatives metrics, Glassnode; for seeing who is behind a wallet, Nansen; for comparing protocols on standard financial metrics, Token Terminal. AstraEye Labs publishes this page and makes one of the tools on it. These are read from each tool's own pages; we did not run the tools.

No. Each tool is named for one job, on a criterion stated beside it. AstraEye Labs comes first because it is named for the first job, and the others are alphabetical. Nothing here rates one tool above another overall or says what to buy or sell.
When the job is one of the others on this page: for prices and market data across coins and exchanges, CoinGecko; for DeFi totals from open data, with a free API, DefiLlama; for long-run on-chain and derivatives metrics, Glassnode; for seeing who is behind a wallet, Nansen; for comparing protocols on standard financial metrics, Token Terminal. Its limits: A report does not link each figure to the filing or data row it came from, and its public version leaves out the detailed data tables. Its stock, ETF and mutual fund coverage is U.S. only, and a mutual fund is covered only once it is tracked, without the company analyses or the market-wide scans. It provides reports, not raw market data downloads or a market data API. Each research run is priced in Astra Credits, so it is built for reports, not for many quick lookups through the day. A report does not say what time of day a coin's price and indicator figures were read. It is a new company with few independent reviews so far.
Yes. AstraEye Labs connects to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok or Glama as an app, so the assistant can read your finished reports and their methods, ask SAGE about them, and price and start new research.
There is a free plan, and paid plans start at $19 a month (Space Analyst). New accounts get a 7-day trial with no card. Every research run shows its price in credits before it starts.
