Highlights
Pros
- Generates tax reports for over 100 countries with support for multiple cost-basis methods including FIFO, LIFO, HIFO, AVCO, and ACB.
- Combines portfolio tracking with 25+ customizable reports, interactive charts, and real-time balance monitoring alongside tax calculation in one platform.
- Full-Service tax help option provides hands-on import validation and report preparation by the CoinTracking team for complex or multi-year records.
- Supports auto-import from over 400 exchanges, wallets, and blockchains via API or CSV — more integrations than most competing tools.
- ISO 27001 certified with EU-based servers, read-only API access, and two-factor authentication providing enterprise-grade data security.
Cons
- User interface feels dated and dense compared to newer competitors like Koinly or CoinLedger, with a steeper learning curve.
- The sheer depth of features and reporting options can overwhelm beginners who only need a simple capital gains report.
- Automated API import from exchanges requires a paid plan, so free-tier users must rely on manual CSV uploads.
- Users with messy multi-year transaction histories may still need significant manual cleanup of DeFi swaps, spam tokens, and wallet transfers before generating accurate reports.
- Mobile app is primarily useful for portfolio viewing and price alerts, lacking the depth needed for comprehensive tax report preparation on the go.
