GE Tracker alternatives
GE Tracker is free to use, but its flip finders, price alerts and 9 of its 15 money-making tools need Premium (£2.00 a month, £10.80 for 6 months or £17.00 for 12 months, checked 2026-10-29). Its own pricing page says it reads its prices from the OSRS Wiki API. These are the alternatives, and what each gives you for free.

What GE Tracker keeps behind Premium
From its own free vs Premium table: the highest-margin, high-volume and GE-limit flip finders, day timeline graphs, item sets, herblore profit, the decant potions calculator, cooking and brewing, enchanting, magic tablets, Barrows repair, combination items, the store profit calculator, active transactions, and every kind of price alert. The free plan keeps the suggested items tool (5 items at a time), favourites, the new items flip finder, the Market Watch index, six money-making tools and the profit tracker with RuneLite import.
What you get here for free
- 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 GE Tracker beats us
- 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.
Who should stick with GE Tracker
- You want a log of every flip you make, imported from RuneLite, with your most profitable items. Nothing else here does that.
- You want price alerts on your phone, by email or by SMS, and £2.00 a month is fine.
- You use its decanting, store profit or Barrows repair calculators, which we don’t have.
Margins after the 2% tax, per buy limit.
