The best option depends on the job
These are the strengths we could verify, including genuine competitor advantages.
Cambio Uruguay
Best for decisions with complete contextNationwide coverage, multiple currencies, locations, reputation, analytics, tools, and open developer access.
Current alerts are threshold-based and do not yet provide a public webhook.
DólarAhora.uy
Best for alert automationHighly flexible alert rules, four delivery channels, and clear historical analytics.
Its current public list is much shorter and USD-focused; part of the detailed history requires an account.
Dólar Uruguay
Best for a quick bank overviewSimple home page, comparison of up to six banks, weekly summary, and WhatsApp sharing.
The main comparison covers seven institutions, and the site says four sources temporarily come from DólarAhora.
cotizacion.uy
Lightweight referencePresents four currencies and institution and department references on one page.
During review the domain was advertised for sale, and we found no history, alerts, or verifiable public cadence.
Where we still do not win
DólarAhora has the most configurable alert system: any change, direction, minimum, and webhooks. Cambio Uruguay already supports push, email, and Telegram thresholds, but that gap is real and remains explicit on our roadmap.
Methodology and limits
We reviewed each product's public pages and documentation on July 24, 2026. We compare only observable features and link the sources used.
- We include products whose primary purpose is aggregating rates from several Uruguayan institutions.
- “Leads” can be shared when two products offer an equivalent capability.
- We do not turn “not found” into “does not exist”; we use “Not documented”.
- We do not score design, popularity, or historical accuracy without comparable independent data.
Verified sources
Direct links to the pages used. Features and coverage can change; this comparison is reviewed periodically.
