"Check bitcoin real quick" in a group chat means someone opens an exchange app, reads a number out loud, and by the time they paste it, it's already wrong. Crypto groups run on stale screenshots.
PricePing (@TickMyPriceBot) answers /price with live USD prices and 24h moves — defaults to bitcoin and ethereum, up to 5 symbols per request:
/price btc eth sol
The one-shot alert is the part most bots get wrong. Send /alert btc above 100000 and the bot checks prices every 5 minutes, DMs you the moment bitcoin crosses that line, then removes the alert. It fires once — no notification spam. /alerts lists what's armed, /rma 2 removes one.
For keeping an eye on a portfolio without opening an app: /watch sol builds a watchlist, /watchlist shows it with live prices, /chart btc draws the last 7 days, and /market shows the top of the market by cap (top 3 free).
Prices come from the CoinGecko public API, cached about a minute — the same numbers major trackers show, no account needed. The bot stores only your watchlist coins and alert lines; no wallet addresses or balances are ever requested.
Free tier: 3 active alerts, watchlist of 5 coins, 7-day charts. Pro (one-time 150 Stars per user) unlocks unlimited alerts, a 15+ coin watchlist, and the top-100 market table.
No app, no browser tab, no stale screenshot — just type the ticker where the conversation already is.
