Coinage is very similar to Bitcoin ticker but supports more exchanges, including Litecoin. The tradeoff comes with usability. Bitcoin Tracker lets you easily toggle currencies in two clicks, Coinage requires you to enter the settings panel to make changes. Coinage also supports Dogecoin which we all know is much important. Currencies supported include EUR, USD, and RUR. There's GBP support as well but only for MT-GOX at this time. If you need Litecoin support or Russian currency options, Coinage may be a better option than Bitcoin. Free - Download Now BitNow
