Offerbook vs the OSRS Wiki Real-time Prices
The OSRS Wiki's real-time prices are the data most flipping tools run on, and Offerbook is one of them. So this is less a contest than a choice of view. The wiki gives you a fast, sortable table and an API. Offerbook takes the same prices and ranks flips by volume, buy limits and risk for you.

- From the OSRS Wiki's real-time prices API, refreshed every minute. Offerbook adds the GE tax, volume, buy limits and ranking on top.
- Is the OSRS Wiki prices site free?
- Yes, with no account. It also has a free public API under a fair-use policy that asks for a descriptive user agent.
- Why use Offerbook if the wiki has the same prices?
- For the extra working: flips ranked by what actually trades, held-back flips explained, alerts and a trade journal. If a sortable table of margins is all you need, the wiki is enough.
We make Offerbook. Other tools' names belong to their owners, and Offerbook isn't connected to any of them. Prices and features change, so check each tool's own pages before you pay for anything. Offerbook is gp only and has nothing to do with real-world trading.
