There are quite a few Bitcoin charting sites but only a handful are worth a look. Below is a digest and review of the best ways to monitor the price of Bitcoin on the web, Android and iOS. Even if you only end up using one of these charting sites, it’s helpful to keep a list of them because when the price of Bitcoin gets hairy like it did April, the main charting sites get swamped and their servers grind to a halt.
 
Websites:
Bitcoinity
The go to for checking the current price of Bitcoin and watching it overtime. Bitcoinity has reliable  uptime when Bitcoins price is exploding or imploding (that was a fun day), and a well thought out interface with the option to switch to dark mode.  What it’s good for:  Checking the price of Bitcoin. http://bitcoinity.org/markets?theme=light

Real Time Bitcoin only shows four main statistics: exchange rate, network power consumption, estimated money sent, and coins in circulation.

iOS – iPhone, iPod and iPad
 
Although there are no Bitcoin wallets on iOS due to Apples interesting policies, there are still many decent bitcoin price trackers and charts available for download.
 
btcReport
btcReport is elegant and reliable, making it my go-to bitcoin price checker for iOS that comes with a simple to use converter.

my best site to ceck bitcoin price is
https://bitcoinwisdom.com/markets/huobi/btccny

this site is updated every 10second so i can compare every market in real time price

nice explanation,
so far i'm just using bitcoinwisdom on my pc, eassy to use and there are so many exchanger out there, we can update the bitcoin's price at the same time from different exchanger, and also in my mobile phone, just using android app created by our local exchanger, i might check the 12 others to, thanks for the list

Is preev.net your site? And are you guys related to preev.com because that is the original site and you seem to have copied it completely. I still prefer the original one.

...

This is not real-time, but I like to watch how gold and BTC move against each other.  The below is a GLD (the ETF, so anyone can trade "paper gold") vs. the Bitcoin trust:


http://stockcharts.com/c-sc/sc?s=GBTC%3AGLD&p=D&b=5&g=0&i=0&r=1456113755472


This only works ("in near real time") when the NYSE is open for trading.  

*   *   *

Another option is ounce.me which shows the BTC:Gold ratio in the upper left corner, currently 2.74 BTC per troy ounce.

ounce.me (http://ounce.me)

ounce.me also shows LTV, Ethereum, Silver, Platinum, WTI Crude Oil and the S&P500 index.  It's a nice little site.

my best site to ceck bitcoin price is
https://preev.net

this site is updated every 05 second so i can compare every market in real time price

I agree, the domain is easy to remember and quick to type and you can also break it down in mBTC conversion. I use it daily to see the price movement displayed on the open tab, so I do not even have to go to the website or switch to the page.

It is fast and easy to use and it supports loads of currencies and exchange prices. I cannot do without this site.

This is good information posred here :) thanku :)

Thank. These are 13 "other" ways to watch price of bitcoin. I only use bitcoinwisdom at the moment but will try others.

you didn't mention about coindesk bitcoin real time price? here is the link http://www.coindesk.com/price/
i always used coindesk to watch bitcoin movement , beside they have a nice looks chart you can get more information about bitcoin at a time.

I don't realize those other sites exists  ;D whichever you promote, most of us don't visit these everyday.
Why do you need to watch it in 13 ways?  You'd lose a lot of time just watching those candles sticks.

Preev.com is the best site which I come across.  you can compare Bitcoins with lot of currencies there .
I always use this to check the current price of bitcoin.

I think you missed the google search,, If we type on google "Bitcoin Price" google will automaticly show us bitcoin price in 1st page, we don't need to go any website, or use any apps,

This is right, I used Google sometimes to check the price, btw where Google pick the price? I means the source of price.

I always have the bitcoinwisdom bitstamp chart open all the time. It's for me the best for keeping an eye on the price. I only wish that they were showing a much larger part of the live orderbook. I am looking for a site as clarkmoody where they were showing a huge list of the live orderbook from MtGox. So far I haven't found it.

I believe they use Coinbase for the source, you can see it on the "disclaimer" button under the little graph.

I like to use Preev too but, while I browse the news sites they all have Bitcoin Price Ticker widget built into the sites, so I stay up to date on what the

price is. The strangest method I sometimes use, is when I visit a faucet site like Freebitco.in to play the lottery and they have a Bitcoin price ticker

built into the stats page.  ;D

Great info thanks!  I like preev.com and will check out some that you listed.

What i meant to say that google will only tell the bitcoin price in one currency US dollars, but if we need conversion in any other  currency then an APP or wbsite like preev is the best

I just have a look at another site besides preev.com. Its  Preev.net.. it will also convert your Satoshi into different currencies.  ;)

Bitcoinwisdom has it all.

Aside from real time price and live volumes in multiple exchanges, you can set your own indicators and your desire graphs and line to help read the chart and makes some weekly foresights and forecast about the bitcoin price.

Good list of useful services, most of them are widely known if you are interested in bitcoin. But some of them (especially mobile services) I didn't know.

Is http://bitcoincharts.com/ (http://bitcoincharts.com/) being updated anymore? I checked the site and it seems that latest news from main page are from mid-late 2014.

Thank you for the information , i really like this site http://preev.net it's simple and beautiful and effective .thank youuu

You are right. Google shows latest bitcoin price in our local currency. I prefer preev to see the weighted bitcoin prices across different exchanges. Blockchain,info also provide weighted bitcoin prices.

i think preev.com and preev.net that op listed is different right? both have similar layout and feature but it's different.
what i like on preev.net it's have additional feature like a signature verifier and several educational bitcoin page linked to official bitcoin site.
it's simple but i still love to watch bitcoin price on coindesk chart :D

this topic looks to me like an advertisement of preev (dot) net and not the one that we have already been using preev.COM and newbie account with only 2 post and another with only 1 post saying the .net is the best makes me suspicious, but maybe it is just me!!

I like this site too to get notice of prices and some times we do google to know the price of bitcoins too.

i personally use bitcoinwisdom, it has a lot of features if you need to do some technical analysis and you can watch the prices of the major exchanges

BItcoin wisdom for pc and bitcoin paranoid for android are best choices for me so far

i agree, bitcoinwisdom is the best because it has all the major bitcoin exchangers in one place with all the data you might need to study the market and compare them to other places. and at the same time it has a couple of other altcoins like ltc too.

Preev is my favourite Bitcoin price tracker. It is very lightweight on the mobile browsers too highly recommended.

Look like Bitcoin Ticker widget is not on the list.

It's an Android application that really has it all. They have some price monitor of almost all of major bitcoin exchanges.

The interface is easy to learn.

What I like here, even I away at my desktop, it has alarm that will triggered your target value.

The CoinDesk app is also good way to watch the price plus be updated with the latest news in the bit-universe.  ;D

That's useful topic for the traders especially and helping them to predict the next pricing levels , and it's also helping the Bitcoin's holders as well , but i think it's better nowadays to hold the bitcoins for the long term run

I will just add that there is a lightweight version app to view Coindesk latest bitcoin news (not articles).

The Android App what Im talking about is BTCkan. Aside from price monitoring in almost all of the exchanges they has news section where you can view the page in a portable one, meaning no ads and side page images.

I used a lot preev.net/com at the beginning but now I prefer bitcoinwisdom for all the features that it has. Preev.net is simple but maybe too simple. I like to be able to look at the graph, indicators and use lots and lots of tools, which preev.com doesn't allow for. If I need to check the price in New Taiwan Dollars I use bitoex, which is basically an exchange (but has many more features) that only works for TWD though. Anyway that's the only reason I would use preev.whatever : check the current NTD rate.
Also as you said http://bitcoincharts.com/ is great for historical research.
And sometimes I also have a look at http://blockchain.info/charts (http://blockchain.info/charts), for other non-price related data that I can't find elsewhere (and they have plenty).

preev.com..more currencies to compare

Posted From bitcointalk.org Android App

Great list I bookmarked some of the sites for comparison,I am currently using preev and I had the hitbtc bitcoin price widget on my site
Preev is always update and I like it's simple interface..

I've just noticed that you forgot to add Bitcoin Ticker Widget (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=st.brothas.mtgoxwidget&hl=en) in your list of Android apps, OP.
That's another great tool for checking bitcoin's price quickly, with graphs and prices according to a lot of different currencies on a lot of different exchanges (it can also be used for Litecoin, btw).

I like Preev a lot and use it on all my devices it's fast to load and calculate values on the fly without any slowing down due to fancy interface.

I usually watch the price of bitcoins in yobit signature where it shows the price of daily ups and down and we can make trading there too.

I personally use preev and also this very handful webpage called cryptofolio.info where you can stack up all of your coins and follow their performance. I wish it stored more data than 1 week graphs since you have to pay if you want longer graphs.
For Android smartphone I just use the simple Bitcoin Ticker Price app thing.

http://preev.net Already it's perfect

that's a good idea. I think people daily sign in in yobit to see their signature earning, and yobit shows bitcoin price also. thats a good way to know about bitcoin price

My main sites are preev.com and coinmarketcap.com markets section @
http://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/#markets

There you can also see the most populair markets on volume. From what i've learned most pumps start on kraken eur market followed up by bitfinex.

I usually watch bitcoin prices in xapo. in my primary bitcoin wallet, and some time I search in google also. I think xapo have a good tool to show bitcoin price in every minute bases.

Wow i am suprised I don't see www.coinmarketcap.com (http://www.coinmarketcap.com) in the list.

But I guess it is because it isn't only to check bitcoins price but all the other altcoins.

I always have this website open in a tab to check out all the prices.

I just watch the Google value, preev value, coinbase and yobit vale. Now I go for the traders for their value. In that I'll go for one with the highest price.

I use exactly the same!
I got the site always opened in my tabs, it's nearly perfect!

Does anyone know what the premium feature is about though?

When I tried some trading last year, I had bitcoinium widget set on my phone screen. I could set refreshing as often as I wanted to, as well as displaying prices in one of many currencies and I could set my fauvorite BTC exchange to get actual rates from :) I don't know if it's still working.

I usually follow bitcoin price using an android app called bitcoin kan, you can add it to your list : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.btckan.app&hl=en
I also check it using mycelium wallet as they have the option to show the price In dollar or in any other local currency

Those tools are very useful, although I try to be a less paranoid about it and just don't follow the day-to-day variations (unless I'm planing to buy or sell, when I follow closely in order to try and get a better deal out of the transaction).

Thanks for the note! Really useful indeed. Although i must admit, bitcointalk is still my go-to site whenever i need to know something about crypto or get updates for BTCs. But seriously though, thumbs up! Thanks for the effort!

nice to share that much of bitcoin price source,but i will take my own way,keep watch bitcoin price on local exchange,like coinbase and btcchina,its enough.
