CoinTracking

CoinTracking combines cryptocurrency portfolio tracking, analysis, and tax reporting. Its country-specific tax reports cover more than 100 countries and include IRS Form 8949, HMRC, and ATO reports. Imports support more than 400 exchanges, wallets, and blockchains through API, CSV, or blockchain addresses. The platform automatically categorizes DeFi swaps, staking rewards, NFT trades, and margin positions. Portfolio tools include more than 25 customizable reports, interactive charts, and profit-and-loss reports. CoinTracking also lists AI Tax Saver, a CSV File Converter, and Source of Funds, with availability varying by plan and country. The free plan costs nothing and is limited to portfolio view; paid plans start at $49 a year, and a seven-day trial is listed. Android and iOS apps sync with an existing account. CoinTracking says data is stored on servers in Germany, encrypted at rest and in transit, and handled under GDPR compliance. Exchange connections use read-only API keys that cannot trade or withdraw funds.

CoinTracking combines portfolio analysis with imports and tax reporting across a broad range of jurisdictions. The free plan is limited to portfolio view, while paid plans start at $49 a year.

CoinTracking suits cryptocurrency holders seeking portfolio tracking alongside tax reports and transaction imports. Its reports and corporate options may also be relevant to tax professionals and financial professionals.

CoinTracking brings crypto portfolio analysis, transaction imports, and tax reporting together for investors with activity spread across exchanges, wallets, and blockchains. It is best suited to people who need detailed records or jurisdiction-specific tax outputs, rather than anyone seeking only a basic portfolio view. Its reach is broad, but usable import and reporting capacity depends heavily on the paid plan.

Overview

CoinTracking supports more than 400 exchanges, wallets, and blockchains through API, CSV, or blockchain-address imports. Its transaction engine automatically detects DeFi swaps, staking rewards, NFT trades, and margin positions, which can reduce the manual sorting burden for investors whose histories extend beyond ordinary buys and sells.

Tax reports cover more than 100 countries, including the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Germany, France, and Austria. Output formats include IRS Form 8949 and Schedule D, HMRC and ATO reports, DATEV, Elster, and BMF. That combination is valuable for users with complex or cross-platform records, though the free tier does not include tax reporting.

Key features

Portfolio and tax analysis

More than 25 customizable reports, interactive charts, and profit-and-loss reports provide several ways to review activity and performance. The breadth is a strength for active investors who want portfolio analysis alongside filing outputs; casual holders may find that depth unnecessary.

Imports, tools, and security

Read-only API keys cannot trade or withdraw funds, limiting the permissions required for exchange connections. CoinTracking says data is stored on servers in Germany, encrypted at rest and in transit, and handled under GDPR compliance; it also holds ISO/IEC 27001:2017 certification. AI Tax Saver, a CSV File Converter, and Source of Funds add utility, but their availability varies by plan and country.

The iOS and Android apps sync with an existing CoinTracking account, while web and API access are also supported. Tutorials, support, and a directory of tax professionals offer help beyond the software; the directory lists 504 CPAs across 95 countries.

Pricing

The free plan costs nothing and provides portfolio view only. It includes a 7-day trial with unlimited imports and requires no credit card, making it a low-friction way to evaluate imports, but not a lasting option for tax reporting or ongoing high-volume tracking.

• Starter — $49 a year: 200 transactions, 25+ reports, access to 400+ exchanges and wallets, and 2 backups. It is the lowest-cost paid option, but the 200-transaction cap can rule it out for active users.
• Pro — $169 a year: 3,500 transactions, auto-sync, API access, and 5 backups. This is a more practical fit for users whose histories exceed Starter's limit and who want synchronization.
• Expert — $259 a year: selectable transaction limit, priority support, auto-sync, API access, and 10 backups. It suits users who need a chosen capacity and a higher support tier.
• Unlimited — $899 a year: unlimited transactions, advanced tools, an expert session, and 20 backups. The high price is most defensible for users who need unrestricted volume and the included expert session.

Corporate pricing includes three unlimited accounts, multi-client management, individual branding, and tools for CPAs, accountants, and financial professionals. It is aimed at client-facing practices rather than individual investors; pricing is custom pricing.

Platforms

CoinTracking runs on web and supports API access, with iOS and Android apps that sync with an existing account. The mobile apps extend account access, but the account remains the center of the service rather than a separate mobile-only tracker.

Who it's for

CoinTracking is a strong fit for investors consolidating activity from many sources, particularly those using DeFi, staking, NFTs, or margin and needing reports for a supported tax jurisdiction. Its professional account structure also fits tax and finance specialists managing multiple clients. It is less compelling for a casual holder who only needs a quick balance check or for a high-volume user unwilling to move beyond Starter's 200-transaction ceiling.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Imports spanning 400+ sources and automatic categorization across DeFi, staking, NFTs, and margin can cut down on transaction cleanup.
• Pros: Country-specific reports for 100+ countries and recognized formats such as IRS Form 8949, HMRC, and ATO support varied filing needs.
• Pros: Read-only API permissions, German data storage, encryption, GDPR handling, and ISO/IEC 27001:2017 certification provide concrete security safeguards.
• Cons: Free access is restricted to portfolio view, so tax reporting requires a paid plan.
• Cons: Starter's 200-transaction limit is restrictive for users with frequent activity, while removing transaction caps requires the $899 a year Unlimited plan.
• Cons: Some extra tools vary by plan and country, so not every user will have access to the same add-ons.

Alternatives

For a free plan capped at 100 transactions per tax year or a Pro Membership priced at $6.99 a month, consider Kryptos. CryptaCount offers a web-based option with a B2B Free plan that includes one user, one workspace, one wallet, 1,000 transactions per month, and one blockchain. If a free forever portfolio with 12 templates, five on-chain scans per portfolio each month, and a watermarked tax extract better matches your needs, look at HQ Wealth.

rotki is a free alternative for Linux, macOS, Windows, or self-hosted use, with its Free plan covering 1,000 recent events and 10 user notes. Tokenbooks has a free web plan limited to one portfolio, five wallets, and 1,000 total transactions. Wag3s is another alternative.

Pacioli is a free, open-source alternative that is pre-launch and requires building from source, with packaged installers not yet available. Fireblocks Financial Data is another alternative.

Verdict

Choose CoinTracking if you need to reconcile a broad crypto transaction history and want portfolio analysis and tax reporting in one service, especially across multiple sources or a supported jurisdiction. Its imports, automated categorization, and tax formats are the central reasons to pay. Look elsewhere if portfolio viewing is enough, or if your transaction volume makes the lower paid limits unsuitable and Unlimited's $899 a year is too much.
