# Mobula vs Moralis: Best Crypto Data API in 2026

> Comparing Mobula and Moralis for on-chain data, wallet portfolio, DEX analytics, and pricing. Which crypto API is right for your project in 2026?

Moralis has been a go-to for Web3 developers since 2021 — but the landscape has changed. If you're evaluating crypto data APIs in 2026, Mobula offers capabilities that Moralis wasn't designed for, particularly around real-time pricing, DEX analytics, and cross-chain portfolio tracking.

Here's an honest side-by-side.

## TL;DR

| Feature                   | Mobula                | Moralis                  |
| ------------------------- | --------------------- | ------------------------ |
| Real-time DEX prices      | ✅ 50ms latency        | ⚠️ Aggregated, slower    |
| Chains supported          | 90+                   | \~30                     |
| Wallet portfolio (1 call) | ✅                     | ⚠️ Multiple calls needed |
| New token detection       | ✅ Pulse feed          | ❌                        |
| DEX trade history         | ✅                     | ⚠️ Limited               |
| Security / honeypot       | ✅ On-chain simulation | ❌                        |
| Solana support            | ✅                     | ✅                        |
| GraphQL                   | ✅                     | ✅                        |
| Free tier                 | ✅                     | ✅                        |

## Pricing & Latency

Mobula indexes directly from the blockchain. Prices are sourced from on-chain liquidity pools and updated in real time — average latency is **50ms**. For any token with on-chain liquidity, price data is available immediately, no listing process required.

Moralis aggregates prices from multiple providers, which adds latency and can introduce inconsistencies between CEX and DEX pricing for the same asset.

```bash theme={null}
# Mobula: get price + 24h stats in one call
curl "https://api.mobula.io/api/2/market/data?asset=ETH" \
  -H "Authorization: YOUR_API_KEY"
```

***

## Chain Coverage

Mobula supports **90+ chains** — every major EVM chain, Solana, and non-EVM networks including Sui, Aptos, Ton, and Alephium. Moralis covers approximately 30 chains with varying depth per chain.

For projects targeting emerging chains or less common EVM chains, Mobula is the safer choice.

***

## Wallet Portfolio

This is where the difference is most practical. Mobula's `GET /api/2/wallet/portfolio` returns:

* All token balances across all chains in a single request
* USD value, PnL, historical balance
* DeFi positions (LP, lending, staking)
* Labeled wallets (exchange, whale, insider)

```bash theme={null}
curl "https://api.mobula.io/api/2/wallet/portfolio?wallet=0xWalletAddress" \
  -H "Authorization: YOUR_API_KEY"
```

With Moralis, you typically need separate calls per chain and additional processing to aggregate cross-chain balances into a unified portfolio view.

***

## New Token Detection

Mobula's **Pulse feed** streams new token launches and new DEX pairs in real time — useful for trading bots, snipers, and launch trackers. This capability doesn't exist in Moralis.

```bash theme={null}
# WebSocket: subscribe to new token launches
wss://streaming.mobula.io/pulse
```

***

## Security Data

Mobula runs on-chain honeypot simulation for every token — detecting transfer taxes, sell restrictions, and ownership vulnerabilities via actual EVM execution on an anvil fork. This data is available via `/api/2/token/security`.

Moralis doesn't offer equivalent on-chain security simulation.

***

## When Moralis Still Makes Sense

Moralis has strong NFT data APIs and well-documented SDKs with a large community. If your project is NFT-heavy or you're already deep in the Moralis ecosystem, switching has a cost. For pure on-chain token data, DEX analytics, and wallet tracking, Mobula is the better fit.

## Getting Started with Mobula

```bash theme={null}
# Install the SDK
npm install @mobula_labs/sdk

# Fetch wallet portfolio
import { MobulaClient } from "@mobula_labs/sdk";
const client = new MobulaClient({ apiKey: "YOUR_KEY" });
const portfolio = await client.wallet.portfolio({ wallet: "0xYourAddress" });
```
