Perchy
The short version
- Perchy puts crypto prices, charts, price alerts and a converter in the notch, next to music, calendar, clipboard and files. Prices are refreshed every minute with Pro and every 5 minutes on Free.
- DynamicLake Pro: $13.99 one-time. Perchy: Free, no time limit, or Pro at $14.99 once for 2 Macs, with 7 days of Pro on every new Mac.
- Of the table’s 19 rows, 11 are in both and 5 are listed only for Perchy.
- Facts about DynamicLake Pro come only from its own pages, as of 2026-10-17; a dash means they don’t list it.
A summary to help you read. The sections below are the full text.
