Just looking for price alerts for BTC and BCH sent every hour or maybe every few hours.
Any free tools for this? email or sms is fine
Why don't you use app/widget that updates automatically every hour/minute? bitcoin checker is a nice app, check it out! anyways if you still want to get an email or sms every hour, i recommend you to code a php script and run a cron job.
If you are looking free and easy way to get frequently alerts on crypto price,use coindera.com.
Coindera.com is an elegant way where you can make alerts criteria of your choice either.Has both the free and pro modes with sms nitifications option
Coindera isn't a free tool, to get updates hourly one has to pay them $5 a month.
