I looked at openexchangerates.org and it looks like a very useful service (real time exchange rates via a JSON API) that people would actually pay for. But there already seem to be other businesses competing in this space. I'm curious as to what advantages you provide compared to sites like xurrency.com or exchangerate-api.com.


Thanks, and good question - it's a very old industry in the web, so the main benefit is ease of implementation (and about to get even easier), highly responsive support, great community and remarkably low prices :o) - that said, I'd love to hear any thoughts you have on other advantages that could be provided - hit me up on twitter @josscrowcroft if you have any ideas.
