FundingPulse
Free Binance USDT-perp funding monitor with threshold alerts on three symbols you pick.
Best for traders in Binance USDT perpetuals who want one alert when a symbol's funding crosses a line they set, free and without exchange keys; not for other venues, or anyone needing an API, exports or more than three alerts.

What it is
A free web dashboard that watches the funding rate of every Binance USDT-margined perpetual and tells you when one crosses a threshold. The front page shows how Binance's symbols split across funding intervals, the five highest and five lowest current rates, the symbols currently beyond the thresholds and how many alerts fired since midnight. Each symbol has its own page with a funding history chart and a statistics panel.
The product calls itself FundingPulse; the installable app behind the footer's Install link is named Funding Rate Monitor. The footer copyright names a single person rather than a company, there is no about page, and the only other page on the site is the privacy policy. Everything public was read for this card on 27 October 2026; the alert set-up behind Google sign-in was not.
It is a monitor, not a terminal and not a signal service: no order entry, no exchange keys, no paid tier, and the alert is a threshold the reader typed, not a call.
Pricing
Nothing is sold. The dashboard and the per-symbol pages are public URLs, and the site's own copy reads "Free 100% · No credit card required". A Google sign-in, also free, is what unlocks saved symbol alerts. There is no pricing page, no plan and no mention of one coming.
Data & coverage
One exchange, one margin currency. Binance USD-M perpetuals quoted in USDT. The rates endpoint behind the dashboard listed 890 symbols on 27 October 2026, which matched the USDT pairs in Binance's own public premium-index response the same minute; the privacy policy names Binance as the market-data source and the home page says "No exchange keys · Public data only". Coin-margined contracts, Binance options and every other venue are out.
Intervals are shown because Binance no longer has one. Binance settles different symbols every one, four or eight hours, and on the day of this card its own funding-info endpoint listed 815 symbols on a non-default interval, 461 of them on four hours. The dashboard's interval distribution chart is the one place that shows that split at a glance, and the per-symbol page prints the interval next to the rate.
Freshness is a polling loop. The dashboard's data endpoint reports a check interval of 300 seconds and default thresholds of plus and minus 0.15%; the page shows an Updated stamp and a Refresh button. A spot check at 11:15 UTC on 27 October 2026: the BTCUSDT page printed a latest recorded rate of 0.0091%, while Binance's premium-index endpoint three minutes later gave a last settled rate of 0.0089% — the page's figure is the current-period estimate, and the two will differ by design inside a funding period.
The per-symbol page is where the depth is. A chart of funding against price, the perpetual-to-spot basis and open interest, at 15-minute to 3-day resolution, with alert markers. A statistics panel over a 7- or 30-day lookback: the symbol's current rate as a percentile of the whole market and of its own history, the current same-sign streak, a volatility tier against the market, a P5–P95 distribution bar, 24-hour and 7-day rate change, and the predicted next rate annualised. The panel's own notes say the figures are computed from Binance's settled funding history, that a snapshot fallback is labelled when history is short, and that "statistics describe the past and are not a forecast". A further panel fits a Q-Q plot to 30 days, 90 days or a year of rates and prints a tail, asymmetry and linearity reading under a risk label.
No history download. The charts and statistics are the only way to see the past; there is no CSV, no table view of settlements and no date-range export.
Integrations
Google sign-in is the only account, and Telegram is the only delivery channel beyond the dashboard itself. The privacy policy lists Telegram "for alerts delivery (if you configure it)" and the symbol page says alerts appear "on your dashboard, and optionally in Telegram"; how the Telegram link is set up is behind sign-in and not described anywhere public.
The dashboard is served from JSON endpoints under the site's own domain that answer without a
key, but nothing documents them, the symbol-alerts endpoint rejects anonymous calls, and the vendor
does not offer them as an API, so the card's api flag stays off. No webhooks, no exports, no
mobile app beyond the installable web app.
Limitations
- Binance USDT perpetuals only. A cross-venue funding comparison, a Bybit or OKX alert, or a coin-margined contract is out of scope by design.
- Three alerts. The saved-symbol list is capped at three per account; the global Monitor is one threshold pair for the whole market, and saving a symbol alert switches the Monitor off.
- One person behind it, and a thin paper trail. The footer copyright names an individual and no company or jurisdiction; the privacy policy is stamped December 2024 while the copyright reads 2026 and the footer version is 1.0; there is no about, docs, status or changelog page.
- Five-minute polling, not a stream. A spike that starts and ends inside the check interval can be missed, and the rate on the page is the current-period estimate rather than a settled number.
- No API, no exports. The history and statistics live only in the browser.
- Statistics panels wear signal-shaped labels. Sections are headed "Trend & Signals", "Risk Level" and "Alert Impact — avg price move after each alert type". What they contain is descriptive statistics of funding and price, and the page's own notes say so, but a reader skimming the headings could take them for recommendations.
- The alert path was not tested. Everything about saved alerts and Telegram delivery here is taken from the site's own copy and the vendor's submission, not from a run.
- Analytics on every page. Google Analytics 4, loaded only after cookie consent according to the banner and the privacy policy.
Alternatives
For the same funding screen across many exchanges rather than one, with history and a liquidation heatmap beside it, CoinGlass is the free page most of the market already has open, and CoinAnk covers similar ground. Coinalyze adds a free keyed API with funding history, which is what this site lacks. The data itself comes from Binance's own public futures API, which is the route if you want to run your own thresholds. Why nothing is comparable until it is on one interval is in how to get funding rates and open interest, and the rest of the free derivatives screens are under crypto charting platforms.

Background
How this part of the industry works, rather than which product to pick.
- What a long/short ratio actually counts — Every futures long has a short on the other side, so a long/short ratio cannot be measuring positions. What Binance, OKX and Bybit actually count, and for whom.
- What it costs to get a coin listed on CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap — Who decides which coins the two big aggregators track, what their paid fast lanes buy and refuse to buy, and what a listing tells a reader of their data.
- Why CME bitcoin futures data costs extra when Binance is free — A Binance chart is live at no charge; CME bitcoin futures lag by ten minutes unless you pay. Who sets that fee, who is professional, and what bots owe.
- A token threshold is not a price — Some tools unlock features by requiring you to hold the vendor's token, not pay it. What that really costs, and why it cannot be compared with a monthly fee.
FAQ
Is FundingPulse free?
Entirely. The dashboard and every per-symbol page are public without an account, and the site says "Free 100%" and "No credit card required". Signing in with Google costs nothing and only unlocks saved alerts. There is no pricing page and no paid tier as of 27 October 2026.
Which exchanges does FundingPulse cover?
Binance USD-M perpetuals quoted in USDT, and nothing else — no other Binance contracts, no other exchange, no spot. Its rates endpoint listed 890 symbols on 27 October 2026, the same count Binance's own public premium-index endpoint returned for USDT pairs that day.
How do FundingPulse alerts work?
Two ways. A global Monitor watches every symbol against one pair of above and below thresholds and lists the symbols that have crossed them. A signed-in user can instead save up to three symbols with their own thresholds; saving one switches the Monitor off, and alerts arrive on the dashboard and, if configured, in Telegram. One alert per crossing, deduplicated.
Does FundingPulse need my Binance API keys?
No. It reads public market data only, has no order entry and never asks for exchange credentials. Google sign-in is the only account it holds, and the privacy policy says it receives your name, email address and profile picture from it.
