## 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.
