OSRS Exchange alternatives
OSRS Exchange is free with ads. Premium is $4.99 a month with a 7-day free trial and takes the ads away, refreshes prices every 6 seconds instead of 30, and unlocks members recipes, table presets and trend analysis (its Premium page, checked 2026-10-29). If you’d rather not pay or see ads, these are the alternatives.

What OSRS Exchange does well
Its Premium page leads with speed: free users wait 30 seconds between updates, Premium gets one every 6 seconds. It also sends price alerts by Discord DM or email (up to 25 items), draws margin lines on the chart with your profit after tax, and shows a buy/sell pressure bar. It runs a Recipe Profit tool and a Death’s Coffer page too.
What you get here instead
- 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 OSRS Exchange beats us
- Speed: 30-second updates free and 6-second on Premium, against our 5 minutes.
- Alerts by Discord DM or email; ours aren’t live yet.
- Margin lines on the chart that remember what you paid.
Who should stick with OSRS Exchange
- You flip high-volume items where a few seconds matter, and $4.99 a month pays for itself.
- You want price alerts in Discord.
- You also play RS3: its Premium page says one membership covers both of its sites.
No ads, no sign-up.
