DBA vs Arkham, Nansen & Whale Alert
Most Ethereum whale trackers start at $29–$69/month. Deep Blue Alpha offers a Free tier (no signup) tracking 28,220+ whale wallets in real time with DEX swap decoding and daily intelligence reports. Pro ($9.99/mo founder pricing) and Alpha ($19.99/mo founder) tiers add the Intelligence Suite, WHaiLE™ AI, Picks scoreboard, and Backtest — at a fraction of competitor pricing.
Behavior-first, not label-first
Arkham focuses on entity de-anonymization. Deep Blue Alpha identifies whales by what they do, not who they are.

Nansen Pilot starts at ~$49/mo for full access. DBA tracks smart money through behavioral clustering and on-chain behavior on a Free tier; Pro ($9.99/mo founder) adds the Intelligence Suite with the advanced conviction engine (basic conviction scoring stays free).
Compare in detail →DEX intelligence, not transfer alerts
Whale Alert posts large transfers. Deep Blue Alpha decodes every Ethereum DEX swap across Uniswap, 1inch, CoW Protocol, SushiSwap, and more — then aggregates directional flow.
Compare in detail →Ethereum-native wallet track records
DexCheck is multi-chain breadth. Deep Blue Alpha is Ethereum depth — wallet-level track records and daily flow reports.
Compare in detail →Real-time whale flow, no paywall
Glassnode charges $29–$999/mo for on-chain metrics. DBA gives you live whale-level flow data for free — individual wallet tracking, not aggregate charts.
Compare in detail →Whale signals, not raw transactions
Etherscan shows every transaction — but won't tell you which wallets are whales or what direction they're moving. DBA classifies every trade.
Compare in detail →Whale intelligence, not portfolio tracking
DeBank is a portfolio viewer. DBA is a whale behavior engine — automated discovery, conviction scoring, and real-time flow analytics.
Compare in detail →Whale flow tracking, not supply charts
Bubblemaps visualizes token holder clusters. DBA tracks what those holders actually do — every DEX swap, every exchange move, in real time.
Compare in detail →Watch whales, not just your own portfolio
Zerion is a Web3 wallet and portfolio app. DBA tracks thousands of whale wallets automatically — their trades, not yours.
