Coinmarketcap first, then coingecko. I have more confident with coinmarketcap's interface, and I have used it since I was in the crypto business. As I know, coinmarketcap is more trusted regarding volume and daily trading activity updates, but coingecko is not bad either, maybe they will improve their service at least almost like what coinmarketcap already provides.

Well I use both, but sometimes I encounter slow downs in CoinMarketCap, but that could be in my own internet and device only. I don't really compare both sites. However when it comes to my own development stuffs in websites especially when I use third-party APIs, I would choose CoinGecko over CoinMarketCap. CoinGecko provide more endpoints for developers in their free plan rather than CoinMarketCap. I guess many had used their APIs already, that's why they have fewer endpoints.

The best alternative is Cryptowatch, which is free. Other great sites and apps similar to CoinMarketCap are FTX (Free), Coingecko (Free), wallmine (Paid) and CryptoCompare (Free).

I think it all depends on habits, I've been using Coinmarketcap for a long time, and until now, I still prefer cmc over coingecko. In addition, I like to join in airdrop event and CoinMarketCap has an airdrop feature, and I don't know if there's an Airdrop on coingecko or not.
Coinecko doesn't seem to accept marketing and advertising about airdrops, I think they want to focus on user interfaces and information, instead of getting involved in issues related to fair evaluation like airdrops. On the side of coinmarketcap, many people spread that they have been acquired by binance and the airdrops here are all about listing on this exchange, fairness and transparency of information and data that can be manipulated but to be honest, other functions working properly is enough when I think these are mainly price checking websites, not a place to do a good investigation

coinmarketcap or coingecko what you prefer or and why? do you use other sites? why
If I have a task to find out about the price of a particular cryptocurrency, or about a crypto exchange, then I always use the Coinmarketcap platform website. It so happened that I found out about the presence of Coinmarketcap earlier than other similar services and I immediately liked it, since it is convenient to find information on it, there are charts and other useful information about cryptocurrencies. If we talk about Coinmarketcap as an auxiliary service, then it suits me perfectly and I will continue to use it if necessary.

It is upto traders thats from where they collect data to use in their business. For me i always use coinmarketcap for know about project. I also se coingecko from time to time but never trust on this or every thing might be good on this site but i can not accept this data from coingecko. Some more market details site has come on internet but i always open and use coinmarketcap.

I am a CMC (CoinMarketCapitalization) user because I know that years back there are some issue in regards to this site but now they are clean and i think best to try them both and you decide which is more functional and more trustworthy .

Yes because it is upgraded now and constantly moving the prices without refreshing the site not like what Coingecko is.

What was the issue with coinmarketcap? The only one I know, that it is being a bit laggy during huge price drops in crypto and panic on the market. I am a coingecko user, as for me it loads faster and shows price changes hourly. But I suggest to use both, because one might have altcoins that other dont have. The only disadvantage coingecko has is showing prices, when altcoin is not traded anywhere, and on on "Market" section there is only a promotion of eToroX.

I actually use both, but if asked which one is better maybe Coinmarketcap is more reliable with a display that is quite simple and easy to understand. I did do some in coinecko although now I understand quite well but indeed for the first impression they were so complicated and inconvenient for me that it took me a few days to learn them first. I would probably recommend Coinmarketcap

I prefer coinmarketcap to coinecko, this is because I noticed on coinmarketcap that prices are always updated and dynamic, besides that there are many menus so we can easily analyze coins or projects.
Both of them are updated, I like both of them but there are casual times that coinmarketcap shows some bugs and I've seen that coingecko looks more stable by that time. But today after binance acquired cmc, those features that they've added. It's giving interest to most people that are new to cryptocurrencies. Although I'm not really into those.

To tell the truth, I use both services. Coinmarketcap is longer on the market, but I have the impression that the process of listing new projects is much longer (I think at some point they made a business out of charging a lot to speed up the listing process). Coingecko, in my opinion, is listing small projects much faster. If someone likes to invest in new, little-known projects, Coingecko will be more practical for him.

I don't want to make a comparison between the two because I think these two are very important, because indeed coinmarketcap and coinecko help me make it easier to find and provide fairly complex data that I can use as my material for processing data. on the other hand there are advantages and disadvantages of each but this is precisely what I need because they can be complementary to each other

I use both coinmarketcap and coingecko to compare the coin price and check the difference. Both coinmarketcap and coingecko give the data, although we do not know if that data is real or not but we can use it as our guidance besides analyzing the coin at the market. The design for both websites is good and it is a friendly user for people to search for the data. I think both sites is good for beginners but they must still analyze the coin at the market so they can get more info.
This is a wise decision. because instead of us being busy seeing which one is the best but not being used and just focusing on doing research on the differences, it will only be useless and get nothing. both are more used to support all the needs we have both from data and facts. this will be better done than we are busy comparing without using

I prefer coingecko a heck of a lot more, and that is because it is easier for me to see the BTC pricing. I have a tough time with that on CMC, maybe I just don't know where to look up. Also the BTC value is located under the asset which CMC doesn't have, I know this for sure. Also seems like a cleaner nicer GUI to me.

I prefer using both platforms as I find one to have something that the other does not have, though I think the newer platform( coingecko) has a better platform and gets regularly updates of markets performance , coin listings. I also think its easier to get a coin listed here than coinmarketcap because most new projects make announcements of getting listed here and not CMP.

I use both coinmarketcap and coingeko.In the meanwhile I use coingeko more. Because all the details of the token are well given. So I like it a lot. And to get a general idea of the token personality, coingeko is very important. So if you want to increase the general knowledge. You can use coingeko. The same is given in the coin market but I like coingeko better.

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.
I have exactly the same feelings. It is true that I respect Binance for its smooth funcionality, but unfortunately the acquisition of Coimarkecap seems a bit unethical to me. Besides, Coingecko has a lot of new tokens that I like to observe. So for me also much better fit Coingecko.
