Where we fit
- Prices for every tradeable item every 5 minutes from the OSRS Wiki real-time prices API, stored in our own database so we can chart our own history: 7 days hourly and up to a year daily on every item page.
- Flipping margins after the 2% tax, with ROI and profit per buy limit; high alch profit; item set margins; and Prayer, Construction and Herblore cost per XP.
- Movers over 1, 7 and 30 days, items near their 90-day lows, momentum, merch flags on item pages, and what each game update did to prices.
- Free, with no ads and nothing behind a paywall. No account needed.
Where others are better
- Slower prices. We sweep every 5 minutes. The wiki’s price site refreshes every 60 seconds and OSRS Exchange every 30 seconds (6 on Premium).
- No trade log. We don’t record your own flips; GE Tracker’s profit tracker does, and imports from RuneLite.
- No mobile app and no public API. GE Tracker has an app; the OSRS Wiki’s API is free for anyone to build on.
Free, no sign-up.
