OSRS Grand Exchange vs GE Tracker
Both sites read the OSRS Wiki’s real-time prices API. GE Tracker turns them into flip finders, alerts and a profit tracker, much of it on Premium (£2.00 a month). We turn them into free margins, our own price history and market signals, with no paid plan. GE Tracker facts are from its own pricing page, checked 2026-10-29.
