I prefer coinmarketcap. Coingecko is just inconvenient for me, I didn't understand this web-site, while coinmarketcap has a very clear interface so I understood how to use it and where to find all the information needed. First of all, there is a table of top-100 that I use to find fundamental projects. Secondly, there is a lot of useful information about supply, exchanges where this coin is traded etc.

Well for sure majority have been using coinmarketcap for the longest time here.

And since CZ takes over, there are some improvements I should say and they didn't change any of the aesthetics so it is still a go for us to check quickly or to look in depth about certain coins because it also have some good links in it.

But I'm also using coingecko, specially if I need to double check on some coins, specially if I found some discrepancy on coinmarketcap I go to coingecko to cross reference it.

I currently use coingecko, it's faster and easier for me to use and have not been using coinmarketcap for a while now after it was acquired by binance because it takes time to fully load on my mobile phone. Although coingecko could be full of price glitches so  just double check from coinmarketcap to ensure I don't make an historical mistake.

I personally prefer CoinMarketCap because it has a friendly user interface and has many more products and features that makes the search easier. One could gain more knowledge about different aspects of the cryptocurrency market at just a glance because projects has been arranged according to their similarities. Various information that an investor could need about a project are readily available.

[Strongkored]

I use both, but I often use CMC because the data provided is more complete, for example the available market for the coin I'm looking for and it looks more friendly. Features at CMC are more complete, such as banner displays about top gainers, recently added and trending this features I can't find at Coingecko.

Both are great sites that provide information about cryptocurrencies. The information about cryptocurrencies presented is more specialized than most other websites. In addition to coinmarketcap and coingecko, there is also a site that is almost the same as them, namely cryptorank.io

[mindrust]

I use coinmarketcap because It is an habit now but occasionally I also use coingecko. Coinmarketcap was bought by Binance not so long ago and Binance is the best exchange in the business. Some shit coins are not available on coinmarketcap so when I need the data of that coin, I go to coingecko and I am never disappointed till know. Both are great providing a great service. You cannot go wrong with either one.

Is there no other option for you?

I, for example, choose this site https://dropstab.com/ it is more convenient and faster. There is a lot of useful functionality.

CMC.

But I still use both of them.

Why a need to choose if we're all free to visit both of them from time to time? If CMC goes down, there's still the best alternative coingecko.

[BitcoinAccepted]

I use both but I mostly use Coingecko to easily convert how much my coin is worth also the Coingecko covers a lot of coins while the coinmarektcap is not however the coinmarketcap has a lot more feature and information and I think it's more like an official list of the coins. If the coinmarketcap would be able to have something like quick conversion of the coin then I will use mainly the coinmarketcap.

I have been using coingecko much more often than coinmarketcap lately especially due to the fact that a lot of unnecessary information has appeared on the coinmarketcap website.
I also often use https://cryptorank.io because there are many other cool metrics here.

[HashingTower]

I personally like coingecko more than coinmarketcap because you can easily find newer projects on coingecko than coinmarketcap, I've seen so many new altcoins landing on coingecko first before coinmarketcap I guess it's so easier to get listed on coingecko than CMC, also coinmarketcap is more buggy than coingecko

[Coin_trader]

They are same purpose and feature in general. Coinmarketcap is just older than coingecko that's why it is more famous. I use both in different purposes. Coingecko is good for tracking new coin because its much easy to list there than Coinmarketcap so usually new token choose Coingecko then later list on CMC. On the other hand, Coinmarketcap is good on fetching price data. Since they fetched there price data inly on there accredited exchange, They show much accurate price compared to coingecko and also there UI/UX design is much better.

Coinmarketcap is the chosen app for Crypto prices and its installed on my phone tablet and smart TV.
Never heard of Coingecko until now and its nice looking but will go with what I have always used.

For this second and for now, I prefer to use coinmarketcap, In the field of coin price information and also the rating that the coin gets, I am more comfortable using coinmarketcap.

In addition to complete information, it is also easy to access.

Coinmarketcap has all the details about every tokens and coins that's listed on their platform, they also have a fully working mobile app for Android and iOS but coingecko doesn't have this, the only issue I noticed about coinmarketcap is instant update on prices, they are slower in this part, imagine even using new platform like poocoin to track a token value? They need to work on this

Coingecko for me after Binance bought Coinmarketcap. It's just like bias for me, a centralized exchange owning a cryptocurrency information/tracker platform.
Since I am not a Binance fan, I much prefer to use Coingecko until now, they just got a simple UI, and the good news they updated their mobile app before the mobile app is just like a mobile view of their web, but now, good looking user interface.

[eXtremal]

I use both. It depends on the coins I'm researching. If they're not on Coinmarketcap then I'll go to coingecko. The advantage of Coingecko is the mini version of Coinmarketcap itself. If we have difficulty finding it in Coinmarketcap which is usually a difficult asset to register there then Coingecko becomes the solution.

I use them both from time to time, but mostly use and prefer CoinMarketCap.. For whatever reason I just personally find the site a little easier to use. Plus, I can quickly navigate around it now (viewing which exchanges a token is on, historical data..etc). I know this stuff is just as easy to find (if not, easier) on Coingecko, but I've just become more used to CMC over time..
