Nansen

Best features: Smart Money Tracker (for tracking the best NFT traders) and Mint Master (for finding new hot NFTs based on minting information)

Price: Nansen Lite gives you free access to the platform’s NFT marketplace overview panel; premium membership offers many additional features and starts at $89 per month (billed annually).

In my opinion, Nansen's NFT Paradise panel is the best NFT analysis suite in today's crypto economy. Smart Money and Mint Master features are great for helping you interpret and convert on-chain NFT activity into actionable alpha. In addition, Nansen goes beyond NFT in providing DeFi and DAO analysis tools, so its scope is much larger than traditional NFT analysis platforms.

icy.tools

Best Feature: NFT Alerts

Price: Icy Lite membership is free and offers trending NFT data, real-time minting data, and more; Icy membership starts at $62 and allows creation of custom collection watchlists and wallet alerts.

Acquired by blockchain development platform QuickNode, icy.tools aims to help traders easily track and set alerts around trending NFT information. You can use the service to set up alert notifications through your browser, Discord, Telegram, and more.

Lucky Trader

Best Features: NFT Sniping Tool , NFT Drop Schedule

Price: free

Lucky Trader offers an NFT item ranking panel for tracking basic NFT stats as well as some interesting features. The project's Sniping Tool makes it easy to find NFTs listed for less than the current floor price, while the Drops Schedule lets you quickly check information on upcoming NFT minting.

NFTScan

Best features: Support for multiple chains (Ethereum, Solana, BNBChain, Polygon, etc.), NFT market data

Price: free

NFTScan is similar to the Etherscan block explorer, but specifically for NFTs. If you need help parsing the data of an NFT transaction, NFTScan is a great place to start. It also supports multiple chains beyond Ethereum.

Flips. Finance

Best Features: Market Pulse , Item Comparison

Price: Many features are free, but Flips Pro membership offers additional benefits ( Flips Gold Pass has a floor price of ~0.27 ETH as of this writing).

Flips.Finance provides all the traditional collection ranking data you would expect. Additionally, the platform has some unique features like Market Pulse, which tracks floor prices, listings, and trading volume as a percentage change across the entire NFT space, and the Research panel, which helps you compare NFT projects, or view their revenue to date valuation.

Flip.xyz

Best Feature: NFT Feed

Price: free

Flip.xyz provides some information of all kinds. You can customize your feed to track data on the NFTs you're interested in, monitor your portfolio, buy listed NFTs, and view trend indicators all from one platform. Best of all, the Flip also supports Android and iOS devices, so you can stay on top of things while on the go. Keep in mind that the project is currently still in beta.

Watchtower

Best features: Live (one-stop hub for listing, minting, and sales data), Communities (track what NFTs are being collected by popular NFT communities)

Price: Watchtower can be browsed for free in demo mode, but all displayed data is 24 hours ago; if you want to get real-time data, you need to subscribe to a premium membership, starting at 0.1 ETH per month.

While you'll need a membership account to take full advantage of Watchtower, the platform is great for tailoring the experience based on how you analyze and track the NFTs you're interested in. The project's tagging system can also help you quickly uncover important insights from the ever-expanding ocean of NFT data.

PopRank

Best Feature: Aesthetic Ranking (eg: RareApepeYachtClub )

Price: free

PopRank is ahead of other NFT analytics platforms in offering aesthetic rankings, and it does so through a ranking game that lets users pick from a collection the NFTs they think look best. Thus, the platform allows you to easily analyze what aspects of a particular collection are visually appreciated by collectors.

Other Noteworthy Projects

I expect the field of NFT analysis to continue to develop rapidly in the coming years. As more NFT activity moves to mobile devices , mobile-centric analytics projects like Ninjalerts are likely to grow in popularity.

Also, another trend I expect we'll see is more analytics projects starting to focus on providing collector insights, like Bello does, rather than the pure market insights that most other services focus on.
