I recently saw Coinmarketcap rolled out their own portfolio tracking app (not sure how new it is) but it appears to have the same functionality as blockfolio, and I'd wager the same information hoovering (tracking your portfolio and using/selling that data to others).

Just curious if anyone out there has used both and has seen any clear reason for one over the other.

ALSO, does anyone have a FOSS/private application or system (besides excel) for tracking their portfolios outside these two apps or the few major websites that do the same thing?

I don't use coinmarketcap application but I'd like to share things I use.
I'm always using portfolio at cryptocompare.com. There are several reasons:
1. Synchronization. I can't use Blockfolio just because it's not convenient when you have more than one device. Moreover, there is no cloud backup.
2. Many portfolios. Blockfolio can't manage different portfolios while cryptocompare can.
3. Desctop version. I like to manage my portfolio via desctop - it's much more convenient than at smatphone.
Cryptocompare has cons too. For example, the lack of small cap coins.
But I use Blockfolio app too, for price alerts.

I used Blockfolio on my phone to check all Atl coin1
I think, this is best at this time,

Totally agree.
BTW cryptocompare has very nice UI design.

Personally, I use Coinmarketcap for half a year and I love this app. There's a lot of coins and they promptly add a new one every week. I would recommend you Coinmarketcap.  ;)

I use both, coinmarketcap and blockfolio.
blockfolio I use to see the development of all the value of my assets, up or down and I install his app on android.
coinmarketcap also always i use in smartphone or on desktop to see price, volume and market an alt.

but for the blockfolio there are still some new alt which is not yet available.

Blockfolio still the best!

this now coinmarketcap still popular and above blockfolio
about altcoin price information, volume transaction and more

and blockfolio only can use in android  and apple application(itunes store)

I used both Blockfolio and Coinmarketcap app
In My opinion both are good applications but Blockfolio is a lot more user friendly and has a better UI
But I like the Graphs Better in Coinmarketcap app
Also adding coins to Blockfolio take a little more time then coinmarketcap and you have to add the number of coins you bought more this can be difficult if you are mostly concerned with your total amounts.

Oh! I didn't know coinmarket cap had an app! I'll have to check that out. I like blockfolio, but I hate how the graph is based on the price of BTC. So, if BTC is pumping, it drastically affects the coin's graph.

I did not know about Blockfolio. I will give it a try. I have used coinmarketcap for years.

www.worldcoinindex.com
is good for me. it is not have app yet but its suit for mobile.

just love blockfolio, and also very good support team with quick responses

Blockfolio is the best for me. This app is wonderful for fast review of portfolio. Very user friendly interface, alerts and graphs are the main features of the app IMO.

blockfolio is better. I tried both app but decided to keep blockfolio

Basically these apps provide almost same functionality.
I have been using blockfolio for months now and it's pretty cool.
It provides easy functionality and accessibility.

Spent the last couple of days putting this together: MyCoinTrades.com (http://MyCoinTrades.com).

It currently only works with coinbase but integration with other exchanges coming soon and mobile app as well.

I don’t think the coinmarketcap app is legit, I read it somewhere in this forum that they don’t run any app nor do they have anything to do with a created app but on the other hand I have been using the blockfolio for a couple of months, it works fine but sometimes they do have glitches from time to time.

if there are two platforms competing to get the attention of consumers, then they will do various ways to make consumers comfortable

these two platforms compete, but ultimately we as a society that benefits

Damn, blockfolio prank me once when I checked it and saw that my coin had pumped and i was so happy and immediately open ether delta but just found out that blockfolio had some glitches. So better to check it in the actual platform to avoid misleading info.
Btw, I didn't know that coinmarketcap had an app but reading the comments here I think it's not worth a try.

It would be great, if blockfolio could implement orders. I didn't see any other apps than coinmarketcap app and blockfolio, that show all charts and historical data.

Both apps can check price but they are designed for its main purpose but coinmarketcap is better. Blockfolio is much focused on your portfolio while coinmarketcap has everything. The chart, social, gainers and losers and other tools that blockfolio doesn't have.

Lately Blockfolio has been horrible: freezing and lagging. I suppose it's "too" popular.

You could find abcFolio useful then.  ;D

Blockfolio is great but sometimes it bothers a lot regarding delay updates i mean not all transaction are recent most of it are hours passed even days so if you have coins and pump and you might found out in the actual exchange that the price move a bit since the price shown in blockfolio is delayed but all in all it's really useful app for traders :)
Haven't tried that Coinmarketcap app, will download it later.

Actually yesterday blockfolio is under maintenance and I don't know what's the maintenance is about, I just hope that they'll fix some issues in their application as sometimes their price doesn't match in trading platform.

I'm a block user but if anything is more accurate and good I will use something other than blockfolio.

The existence behind both the applications were the same, each differ from one another on some factors. Coinmarketcap gives a combined data on the respective token /coin. Blockfolio helps with tracking of the price moves with the combined portfolio being added to the profile. This lets buying and selling easier.

I use them both because they're just good use so I use them both.

I still prefer blockfolio on checking portfolio of coins, user-friendly application, almost all the coins tradeable are available. But we can still check the App if we can see any differences in the price of tokens, to know whos application is faster in updating its market price.

I'm used Blockfolio on my phone to check all my coins/tokens. Me liked how working app and don't know why need other apps.

Soon, I think that this feature will be available in many services, as the popularity of cryptocurrency is only growing

I really do not know anything about this, I am very lucky to have stopped in this thread. this is a very useful information to find information about the coins we have. I will continue to monitor this thread, hopefully there are more bermanffat again. so I can do a lot of research. thanks for everyone who has provided info

I myself use several applications and analyze the market in accordance with the necessary criteria. For example, it is FinTab.io

How long do you use fintab? i'm using it for a long time, and my pro account is very useful.

Hi.

I use both. With the Smartphone Blockfolio and the Computer Coinmarketcap. Find Blockfolio on the smartphone just clearer. But otherwise a big fan of Coinmarketcap

I am not even sure if the coinmarketcap application is legit because if there was an application most traders would be able to know and talk about them but as far as my friends know, they mostly use blockfolio for the list of their coins and tokens they have on hold. And same as mine, I only use the blockfolio app because it is updated and I a, comfortable using them as well.

Like you I didn't know that app of coinmarketcap, all I know is their main site. I'm now using delta app I downloaded it recently and it's great to use yet I'm not sure if it's now available in app store but in playstore it's perfectly working.

I have already met many such mobile applications on the similarity of Coinmarketcap and Blockfolio. But most of all I liked working with FinTab, the service is more convenient, also completely free.

I'm okay with blockfolio and I don't find it that I need to use another price tracker or portfolio manager.

These three are one of the popular ones that I'm reading here in the forum but majority are staying to blockfolio.

Blockfolio is still the best in terms of tracking the sum of your portfolio but as for Coinmarketcap it's best in terms of searching for a token and getting full details about such tokens
